Mr. Speaker, in a preliminary report, a copy of which I received on the weekend, it is recommended that the Minister of National Defence cut our reserves from 51 units to 20 in the infantry, from 15 units to 7 in the artillery, and from 17 units to 10 in the armoured units.
The government has already cut the military from 80,000 to 60,000. Is the Minister of National Defence going to cut our reserve forces or not? According to the parliamentary secretary yesterday in the House the decision rests with him.
