Mr. Speaker, I do not hear much sincerity from the defence minister today and no apology for his remarks and exaggerations.
The military's feelings toward our defence minister have gone from disappointment to outrage. Former air force commander General Bill Carr wrote that our defence minister's image is “at best, one of an insecure veteran in a field he professes to know. For the good of the Canadian Forces, his departure would be a relief. He has no alternative but to step down.”
Does the defence minister have any honour, integrity, or humility left? Will he do the honourable thing and step down?
