Mr. Speaker, it would be our great pleasure to share with the member some quotes about aircraft carriers.
This is nonsense. What is the use of purchasing new ships if they are only going to be kept in port? It is all well and good for them to puff out their chests and say they support the troops, but they need to keep their promises.
Our three frigates are practically defenceless. HMCS Toronto, HMCS Ottawa and HMCS Athabaskan might as well be fishing boats. Our Protecteur class ships will not even have a missile defence system.
How can they protect anything? Why are the Conservatives putting the lives of our brave sailors at risk?
