Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
The government officially justifies closing the military college in Saint-Jean by invoking the need to save money. However, the total cost of teaching per student is much higher in Kingston than in Saint-Jean: over $71,000 in Kingston compared to $58,000 in Saint-Jean.
Since the minister is so sure that he made the right decision, can he tell us precisely how much will be saved by closing the military college in Saint-Jean, considering the costs of relocation and the need for new facilities in Kingston?
