Mr. Speaker, I may remind the minister that the red book also talked about defence conversion and diversification, neither of which has been done.
Instead of being criticized again next year by the Auditor General's office for his ad hoc decision to close the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean, would the minister not agree he should support the proposal by the mayor of Saint-Jean which provides for a transition period, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past?
