Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I am proud to represent CFB Esquimalt, home of the Canadian Pacific fleet.
These estimates are our chance to ask accountability questions. Last year, after you had to leave, I talked to General Vance about this. A lot of facilities on our base and in many bases across the country still have asbestos in them.
We have had Canadian Forces members, both in the forces and civilian members, working in facilities where asbestos is yet to be removed. In particular, at CFB Esquimalt we have barracks which should have been condemned 10 years ago that still have asbestos in them. I'm wondering, Mr. Minister, if in the supplementary estimates there is enough money to complete that work on asbestos removal and do things like replace the barracks at CFB Esquimalt.
