Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence has a serious credibility problem when he talks about costs. We know how he estimated the F-35s. He underestimated them by $10 billion, possibly even $25 billion.
Recently, he disguised the acquisition of military vehicles worth $105 million by calling them “transmission parts”.
Now, of course, we know he is underestimating the cost of the war in Libya.
Where is this government’s accountability? How is this minister still sitting in the front row? It is time to send him off to the back benches.
