Mr. Speaker, it was a great honour to listen to the member speak so eloquently about his beautiful riding and also about its military history.
There was one line in the throne speech that particularly concerned me. It was about having a leaner military. This is not what we heard during the campaign, but, frankly, it is what a lot of us expected. Not only are we pulling out of the fight against ISIS, but also, going forward, the Liberal government would reduce our capacity to use our military as a force for good in the world.
Can the hon. member comment on what he thinks the government means by having a leaner military, going forward?
