Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, by the way, we were the ones who awarded the contract, not them. The Asterix is resounding success. It was delivered by Davie on time and on budget.

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the cenotaph from the Kandahar airfield, a monument dedicated to the memory of fallen soldiers from the war in Afghanistan, was moved to Ottawa and inaugurated on May 13 in secret, a move that showed a blatant lack of empathy. The families who lost loved ones in Afgh

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, a Canadian citizen, André Gauthier, has been detained for over three years now, first in Dubai and now in Oman. The authorities in Oman are now in the process of deporting him to Dubai, where he could face life in prison, at his age, in a country with a poor human ri
