Mr. Speaker, after the Liberal decade of darkness this government has invested in the Canadian armed forces because we support our troops, not because of political gain, but out of national pride. That is why it is shameful the Liberal leader would show such calculated cynicism by fundraising on the issue of detainees.
Even the Liberal member for Vancouver South, when asked if this was appropriate, said unequivocally, “No, it's not”.
When the Liberal leader fundraises on the backs of our soldiers and their sacrifices, it proves what we have been saying all along: He is in it for himself.
We will not stand idly by while the Liberal leader tries to score political points by smearing our soldiers in this House or anywhere else in this country.
There will be more questions today about our soldiers and our military leadership, but the real question now is are the Liberals asking these questions to help, or are they asking these questions to fill the Liberal leader's war chest?
