Mr. Speaker, unlike the Prime Minister, we actually delivered for our military. We bought five brand-new CF-17 Globemasters, new Hercules, new Leopard tanks and new Chinook helicopters. We delivered.
Instead, what we have here is an Auditor General report referencing her 2018 report on Canada's fighter jets. That report said the biggest obstacle to meeting operational requirements was a shortage of fighter pilots and technicians. Over the lost Liberal decade, the Liberals have worsened this capability gap through mismanagement and completely ignoring the Auditor General's recommendations.
The foreign affairs minister, who was responsible for the military back in 2018, is still in cabinet. Why is this?
