Madam Speaker, I understand that the member was an actor in his former life, and there are few people who are more animated in the House than me, at least from my perspective, but I do applaud that. When someone from his position is complimentary toward me in my ability to represent my constituents in the House, I am certainly flattered by that.
However, his notion that this government, that the minister did nothing is absolutely false. The notion that no action has been taken on this file for the last six years is also completely false. I sat on the national defence committee for four years. We studied this issue.
