Mr. Chairman, this matter is further to the visits we conducted at Borden. At Borden, they mainly offer instruction in the combat weapons support trades. As part of our investigation, we sent a team to determine whether there were similar injustices at Gagetown, New Brunswick, and in St-Jean. The schools offering instruction belong to the land force. We didn't investigate training institutions belonging to the maritime or air forces.
All Canadian Forces recruits, whether anglophone or francophone, must do their basic training at Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. It's a national school for all recruits from across the country. The schools are mainly grouped together in Borden. The instruction provided is intended for all those wishing to qualify in those trades, both anglophones and francophones. In our investigation, we did not check to determine the situation at the bases you mentioned.
