Mr. Speaker, the government has said that it is on top of the 2000 computer bug problem and that it will be ready for the new millennium.
Recent Treasury Board surveys show that many federal departments will not be ready and that national defence is one of the very least prepared departments.
If the government is ready, why is the RCMP cancelling all leave between December 27, 1999 and March 15, 2000? Why is the government preparing to deploy tens of thousands of military troops in the new millennium?
