Madam Speaker, the minister left out that there would not be any food, there would not be any water, no land, no moon and no sun.
The deputy minister of National Defence testified that he gave the government all the numbers, “$5.7 billion for sustainment, $9 billion for acquisition, $10 billion for operating”. That is $24.7 billion.
In February, the Minister of National Defence claimed there was only one figure, $14.7 billion, saying, “I have no idea where these other figures are coming from. They are simply made up or they are guessing”.
Who is right, the deputy or the minister?
