Mr. Speaker, we come in here and listen to the member for Winnipeg North drone on and on, and he is loud. I live next door to him, and I know that his political epitaph is going to say that no member has ever spoken so much and said so little. That is a reality we are dealing with. There is lots to chew on with all of the misinformation that was in the member's comments just now. First of all, he wanted to reflect on F-35s. The Liberals do not get to take credit for the F-35s, when they sidelined it in 2010. It was the Prime Minister, in his campaign of 2015, who said he would never buy the F-35. Guess what? The F-35 was the correct plane to buy. We applaud the government for finally coming to its senses and getting the right plane, 10 years too late. It wasted billions of dollars on buying used, rusted-out jets from Australia that are still not flying today, and we do not have pilots, because of the retention and recruitment crisis right now caused by the Liberals. The member wants to talk about votes. In 2014 and 2015, when he was a member of the third party, he voted against Operation Unifier. Let us also remember that with respect to salaries, we voted against them because we lost confidence in the government and there was not enough money for our troops, because now they are lined up at food banks.
