Mr. Speaker, that is an interesting response but not an answer to my question.
The brigadier-general has just revealed, “The mission has changed since the spring.” We are told the mission has moved from defensive to offensive, and after promising increased transparency, the Liberals will not tell us how often our troops come under fire and how many are on the ground in Iraq.
Does the minister believe that Canadians have a right to know about the increasing risk to our soldiers in Iraq?
