Madam Speaker, after nine years of the Prime Minister, our warships are rusting out, our fighter jets are worn out, this army has been hollowed out and we are so short of soldiers, sailors and aircrew that our troops are burnt out. We found out last week that the Prime Minister spent almost $35 million on new sleeping bags for our troops, but nobody checked to see if they were suitable for arctic conditions. Our troops, while training with our U.S. allies in Alaska, had to resort to using old sleeping bags from the 1960s. The Liberal government is literally leaving our troops out in the cold. With the Liberals, when it comes to our military, it is just failure after failure. From their failure to procure light armoured utility vehicles, to our troops in Europe having to buy their own helmets, vests and food, the Liberal government cannot be trusted to keep our troops or Canadians safe. If the Liberals cannot get the little things right, how can anyone trust them to get the big things, like submarines bought on time and on budget, right? Our future common-sense Conservative government will stand up for our military heroes and ensure they are properly equipped to do their important work to protect Canada.
