Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very interesting speech, although it had nothing to do with the motion. It was a nice speech designed to restore the image of the Canadian Armed Forces.
It was interesting, but it was similar to the answer we got from the Deputy Prime Minister today, in response to questions about the Minister of National Defence. She responded by boasting about the minister's career achievements.
When someone spends so much time singing their own institutions' praises, is that not an admission that there is a problem? Is this not an admission that the minister's actions, which are being denounced in today's motion, tarnished the Canadian Armed Forces?
