Mr. Speaker, when I asked the Minister of National Defence when he would advise the civilian employees at 5 Wing Goose Bay which jobs were being considered for privatization, he answered: "We have just announced that this particular base may be a candidate and we will look at it over the coming months".
Either the minister misled us or he works very fast because yesterday, just nine days later, it was announced that 93 civilian full time jobs, 15 seasonal jobs and 81 military jobs were being cut, followed sometime later by surgical cuts. These people would like to bid on those jobs. When will the minister advise which jobs were cut?
