Mr. Speaker, I never thought I would say this in the House, but I miss the Liberals of old. I miss them a lot, it is true. I have two quotes that will directly address what the parliamentary secretary just said. I will first quote Paul Martin when he presented his budget in 1995: For years governments have been promising more than they can deliver and delivering more than they can afford. That is exactly what they are doing. My second quote is from a former Liberal prime minister: He said, “Good intentions are not an excuse for maladministration”.

Madam Speaker, first off, my thanks to the parliamentary secretary. I take his words to heart. I know he is a strong advocate for our Canadian Armed Forces and our veterans, having sat on the veterans affairs committee with him in the last Parliament. However, I am actually disappointed. My question was directed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The whole question was directed at her actions. It was not to the government and not to the parliamentary secretary, but to her specifically, as to whether she will recognize how good our Canadian Armed Forces personnel are. I will ask the parliamentary secretary to take that message back. Other Liberal MPs have apologized on her behalf; I want her to actually state in this House how good our military personnel are.
