Mr. Speaker, the lease of the Fort-Saint-Jean campus, the old Collège militaire royal, expires on August 31, 2000, just two months from now. There are persistent rumours to the effect that officers will come back to the site of the former military college.
In light of this extremely tight timetable, when will the Minister of National Defence announce the signing of a new lease and does he intend to also announce, before the end of the current session, the return of officers to the former Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean?
