MacKay calls Liberal's trip to Afghanistan a stunt

Mackay comment on Liberal Defence critic Denis Coderre trip to Afghanistan is nonsense, it does not mean you have to be a government personal to go to Afghanistan. Coderre is the official opposition defence critic it is his responsibility and duty to be aware of the Canadian army missions situation in Afghanistan and have direct contact with the military officers.
I don't believe the Coderre's trip is going to be a risk to the Canadian military personal. I would consider it as a support to Canadian soldiers and the mission in Afghanistan. It is important that the opposition have direct talk with the aid groups and Canadian military officers in order to be aware of the situation and know if they have shortage in anything and satisfied with their needs. Plus the public get some result of the mission not just from the media or the government.
In my opinion this trip is necessary and it is support to the Canadian military. I think we should show more support to the mission not just by visiting but by standing behind the military presence in Afghanistan.
