I am encouraged by part of the minister's response that we will get more information.
The deployment regulations state that personnel must have 18 months between peacekeeping rotations, yet since 1992 Valcartier has sent 5,000 troops to the former Yugoslavia. Given the manpower situation at the base, it is clear this regulation is being disregarded.
Given the tragic consequences this appears to be having on the troops, will the minister explain why deployment regulations are being ignored?
