Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Newfoundland for his insight and his work on this file.
I also want to ask him a question about the stealth, but I suppose this is about the stealth of the motion today as opposed to the other stealth that has gone on in this place and the agreement to go ahead with the extension of the mission in Afghanistan.
We now find out there was a deal between the Liberal Party and the Conservatives to extend the mission in Afghanistan and to spend $1.5 billion extra dollar on a military mission. Could he enlighten us as to why the Liberals did not want to come forward today on a motion about the extension of the mission? We could have had a debate about all of these facets, including the stealth fighter, and about the mission in Afghanistan, the extension of a military mission and a vote.
