Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative
“The military turned away most Canadians who wanted to join and recruited non-citizens instead, including people who do not speak English or French. I want an answer on how this keeps Canada safe.”
“Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, that answer is absolutely meaningless. It is important to understand that, between 2022 and 2025, 192,000 Canadians wanted to enroll but only 15,000 were accepted. Meanwhile, the government recruited permanent residents, non-Canadians and people who do not speak English or French and enrolled them in officer courses. How can we keep our country safe when we rely on people who do not understand our culture, do not understand our language and do not want to listen to orders from women? Can we get an answer on that?”
