Madam Speaker, I thought I was pretty clear on why I do not support the motion. It is because the CF-18s are being pulled out of the fight.
The Liberals talk about refocusing and all of that, as if the Royal Canadian Air Force could not continue at the same time that we are training, providing humanitarian aid, and bringing in refugees. We have the capability. We have shown before that we can fight at the same time as we are providing those other services. We certainly did it in Afghanistan, and we certainly can do it here.
Therefore, I will disagree with the member and his party that it is necessary to withdraw the CF-18s in order to increase training or humanitarian aid, because the facts simply do not back that up.
