Mr. Chair, any time a Liberal, especially a rookie member of Parliament from the Liberal Party, stands in the House of Commons and decries any sort of defence funding, I would ask him to look to his colleagues, who have consistently voted against any sort of expenditure increase to the Department of National Defence. I would ask him to talk to colleagues who were in the House of Commons when a former Liberal government sent our men and women in uniform into the desert in bright green camo.
The Liberal government's record on supporting our men and women in uniform is not only misguided and dangerous: it is woefully abysmal. I find it extremely rich that the member would even raise this point at this hour of the night.
