Madam Speaker, I like to think of it in the opposite. I like to think that the minister views this from a completely different perspective.
At noon today, I and my committee colleagues on this side of the House presented our report that contains 10 recommendations on how to work through the backlog. I have no doubt whatsoever that the minister will look at those recommendations take them seriously. We were going to recommend the super visa for parents and grandparents but the minister did not wait for us to finish our report and said that it was such a good idea that he would implement it now. The minister did not wait to fix the problem like the Liberals did when they were in government. He acted immediately. What more can one ask for?
As for the F-35s and the F-18s, what about the chance that a previous government already passed that and said that those were the planes Canada would buy?
