Mr. Speaker, I would like to answer this question. First of all, I want to say that Saint-Jean is not a French college but a bilingual college, like Kingston. And I am very pleased to hear that people who fought against bilingualism in Quebec are anxious to keep a bilingual institution in Quebec.
Unfortunately, as I said before, we are making major spending cuts. The United States, with two million service men, have three military colleges. In Canada, we have 65,000, so we can dispense with two of our colleges. We have decided to consolidate the two bilingual colleges, Saint-Jean and Kingston, and make one college in Kingston.
I also think the hon. member will realize that, if he looks at this objectively, the defence cuts in Quebec were less severe than in other parts of Canada, and if I had acted on his leader's recommendations, we would have cut far more, because we did not cut 25 per cent of the defence budget.
