Mr. Speaker, we vote against bad projects.
The government has taken almost a decade to realize that its so-called military procurement strategy is nothing but a failure. From the F-35 debacle to the Cyclone helicopter, fixed-wing SAR, and the joint support ships, the Conservatives have left a trail of failures, delayed and over-budget projects, and under-performing equipment for our military. However, instead of taking responsibility, the minister is proposing yet another committee to oversee this mess.
Would the minister explain how more bureaucracy with no single line of ministerial accountability would do anything to fix their abysmal procurement record?
