Mr. Speaker, I heard the term “cut and run” several times during the member's presentation.

Is the member aware that we are increasing our military personnel by 200 members during the upcoming mission and we are tripling the size of our train, advise, and assist mission? As well, we will be spending $145 million over the next three years to counter terrorism. We will be delivering $940 million in humanitarian assistance and spending $270 million over three years to rebuild the local infrastructure.

My question for the hon. member is this. Does that sound like cutting and running to him?
