Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
Canadians will remember that in the red book the Liberal Party, now the government, made a commitment to reduce defence spending. This will have an impact on Canadian forces bases and the surrounding communities across the country.
As an MP from Saskatchewan, I am deeply concerned about the future of our bases, particularly our primary base, CFB Moose Jaw, wing 15.
Could the minister inform the House what progress has been made toward achieving fiscal responsibility and efficiency in the area of defence?
