Jeff Kibble Conservative
“The previous Conservative government ran good military programs without wasting money. The current government uses misleading numbers, and our military has become weaker under them.”
“Mr. Speaker, I was looking at nothing but the facts, and I hear the frustration in the member opposite’s voice. Clearly, reality is colliding with illusion, and his frustration is building. Let me be clear. With the investments of 1% under the Harper government, they still managed to go to Iraq and Afghanistan, because they had solid, well-founded programs that did not waste money. Right now, we are seeing creative accounting and self-reporting. When the Stockholm Institute reports on actual numbers, we see it is more Liberal illusion, just like their announcements. It is all illusion, and our military is no stronger. In fact, it is weaker under this government’s illusion and failure. I am bringing reality.”
