Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister informed this House that the matter of the closure of the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean was not raised in the Liberal caucus. This college is the only francophone military college in North America. If in fact the matter was not raised in caucus, then I condemn all Liberal members from Quebec for not defending the interests of the province and for not defending the French fact in the armed forces.
The closure of the only French-language military college in Canada will mark the end of a 50-year-long struggle for francophone equality in the Canadian armed forces.
