Mr. Speaker, I know the member opposite is new to his critic's portfolio, but giving him that, where has he been?
The Government of Canada and the Department of National Defence have been asking NATO and our allies for additional troops in Afghanistan certainly since we came to office. I do not know what he did under his time, but the reality is that we have been encouraging other countries to contribute to the south, to that region. Despite the apoplectic discussion coming from the former defence minister, that is the reality, and I know he does not like reality because it hurts.
As for disclosure, let us talk about the sponsorship scandal.
