Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
Will the minister tell the House how he intends to proceed in ensuring that the Downsview base in Toronto is owned by the public in perpetuity, enjoyed as an open space, an urban forest with recreational and educational facilities? This would provide enjoyment for Canadians interested in nature studies and urban dwellers seeking relaxation in a green environment.
Will these lands be designated to become our first national urban forest?
