Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence wants to throw out 60 years of experience in training first responders for emergency preparedness by closing the Arnprior college. As an economist he should know that the estimate of $1.9 million to temporarily relocate the college to a site rejected by every other federal government department is gun registry math.
The minister has said he will allow stakeholders to put forth a proposal, but why is the minister compromising the safety and security of Canadians by disrupting the training with a move?
