Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
Despite the totally unacceptable behaviour of a number of soldiers and officers of the former airborne regiment from Petawawa, the Minister of National Defence is still refusing to review or suspend the promotions given those involved in this matter.
Is it not shameful that the Minister of National Defence allows the Canadian army to promote individuals involved in the events at Petawawa, that the army even decorated the commander of the former regiment and that the minister himself is today refusing to suspend the promotions?
