Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“I want the Conservatives to support this bill. It fixes the military justice system based on an independent report. Our government is working to improve conditions for the Canadian Armed Forces.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is disappointing that the Conservative Party of Canada is determined to fight this legislation, and not recognize the phenomenal work that former Chief Justice Arbour did. It is only over the last couple of weeks that the Conservative Party has come out against the legislation as much as it has. At the end of the day, we have a government that is pushing forward a number of agenda items dealing with the Canadian Forces, whether it is the 2% GDP or the increase in the overall interest in joining the forces, which is at a 30-year high. We are improving the conditions of the military and Bill C-11 is a part of that. I wish the Conservatives would get onside.”
