The leaders reacted harshly after the Commons question period where Harper challenged the credibility of Liberal Leader Stephane Dion because he hasn’t served in the military, and took a shot at deputy leader Michael Ignatieff because he lived outside the country for three decades.

“I will just say it is true I have never served in the Armed Forces,” Harper replied when Ignatieff noted that Harper had not served in the military either. “I consider that an experience in my life that I have missed, but I can say I have always lived and worked and paid my taxes in this country.”

“And when the leader of the opposition is able to stand in uniform and serve his country, then I will care about his opinion of the performance of the minister of national defence,” Harper added.
