Mr. Speaker, I can understand the frustration experienced by the hon. member who never has any questions to ask. He would like to ask his government a few questions.
Yesterday, on the subject of the eventual closing of the military college in Saint-Jean, the Minister of National Defense said:
It is one that I opposed, the Prime Minister opposed and many people opposed. We would have liked to have done it another way rather than close this college. However, from the point of view of financial sense, it seemed to us that the best business case was to concentrate the college in Kingston.
Can the Minister of Defence assure us today that the decision to close the military college in Saint-Jean was made "only" to save money and not for political reasons?
