"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I understand why it is important to keep some of the security issues private. However, I would like to understand from the Leader of the Majority Party how we can protect our soldiers and our security personnel from substandard equipment that is being purchased. For instance, if the budgeting and the procurement processes clearly state that the money we give should be used to purchase new equipment, new generation arms like bullet-proof vests and helmets, how do we safeguard and protect our officers from the procurement people hiding this information and buying for them cheaper or second-hand equipment that do not help them in their job and keep them safe? I understand the importance of security, but this other angle of making sure that the equipment that we want and the best value for money is what we get. If that can be addressed, then I fully support."
