Mr. Speaker, with regard to Afghanistan, it seems the government wants to keep as much information as possible away from Parliament. We will not get Chinook helicopters until 2013. There is the Leopard tank mess and now these secretly leased Russian helicopters. We have seen a string of four military procurement decisions by the government.
If the government wants to assure us that all proper procedures were followed, why not make the process transparent and accountable to Parliament and to Canadians?
