Mr. Speaker, ethnic conflicts from various countries have now found their way into the Canadian Armed Forces.
A leaked internal report from the Canadian Armed Forces Leadership and Recruit School confirms that platoons comprising up to 83% of people who are not even Canadian citizens have experienced serious conflicts, allegations of racism and cultural friction. Instructors even report difficulties in enforcing authority, particularly that of female officers, which directly undermines discipline and the chain of command. It is a total mess.
Does the minister understand that these policies aimed at meeting quotas have undermined the cohesion of the Canadian Armed Forces?
