Madam Speaker, the promise of transparency we received during the last election certainly has not materialized. The government does not know the difference between transparency and being invisible.
That there is barely a word in the budget on national defence reflects the low regard the government has for our Canadian Armed Forces. There has to be a plan somewhere. Somebody has to have the fiscal framework. There has be a budget somewhere.
What we are looking for is an actual document showing what the spending is for the military, and we have not yet seen that. That is an insult to all Canadians.
