Mr. Speaker, we would like to see an open debate.
However, the Conservatives and the Liberals claim that in Afghanistan, one of the roles is to provide security for development, but most Canadians would be surprised to hear exactly how we are providing that security. The Dahla Dam, Canada's largest development project in Afghanistan, is being entrusted to a private security firm with drug trafficking ties, a firm that the U.S. has blacklisted.
Will the government explain why Canada's precious aid dollars are actually going into the pockets of drug traffickers?
