Mr. Speaker, for nearly 20 years now, the Fusiliers de Sherbrooke have been connected with an important annual fundraising event for the Fondation du Centre universitaire de santé de l'Estrie. Over the years, this foundation has collected over $15,000 at this event, which is held at the Sherbrooke armoury.
This year, the foundation is being penalized by the totally unacceptable behaviour that took place at a regimental dinner held by the Fusiliers on September 12. Until the investigation into these incidents is completed, the armoury cannot be used for social events.
Let us look at this objectively. The community ought not to be punished because a few individuals acted in an unacceptable manner. I am asking the minister to look into this matter, which merits special attention, and to take the necessary steps to allow the foundation to hold its fundraising event as planned.
