Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With all due respect, Mr. Commissioner, I believe that you are aware that, on October 20, I sent a letter to the Minister of National Defence and I cc'ed your office. In that letter, I asked the Department of National Defence to preserve the General Jean V. Allard Memorial Library at the Saint Jean Garrison and its 85,000 documents. Eighty-five thousand documents, and they want to close the library. A senior public affairs officer at National Defence said that the library was useless.
Do you think it is useless for an organization of 3,000 people, like that one, to have a library?
