Mr. Speaker, I have been there too. I am not the one who is abdicating now. This is what the Prime Minister said in 2006:
Once we get rid of the bad people, we can carry on with full force in terms of the reconstruction and development,.
Now he is saying that we will never defeat the insurgency. For the sake of our troops, their families and all Canadians, the Prime Minister, for once, must come clean. Why is the Conservative government abdicating now? Why the new shift? Did the Prime Minister at least inform our allies at NATO?
