Fraser Tolmie Conservative
“The government has delayed buying needed military equipment for years, including fighter jets and submarines. I want to know if this bill is an admission that its defence policies have failed.”
“Madam Speaker, I have to say that I am somewhat disappointed with the answer I received earlier, but I will move on. The big question is, is this an admission of failure by the Liberal government to procure equipment? We have been waiting for years for F-35s. We have been waiting for submarine replacements. We are waiting on Snowbird replacements. We are waiting on continual equipment replacement by the Liberal government. It keeps dragging the puck, and all we hear are excuses. This seems to be another excuse. Is this another excuse, or is this an admission of failure on bad policy that the Liberals have had in place for over 10 years?”
