Mr. Speaker, once again, members of the Canadian navy are in hospital, this time in Halifax, following a fire yesterday on board a patrol frigate, the HMCS Toronto . Just as in the investigation into the fire on board the submarine HMCS Chicoutimi , the Canadian navy is refusing to disclose the exact number of hospitalized seamen, or their health status.
Since the navy is keeping us in the dark, can the Minister of National Defence tell us the exact health status of the crew of the HMCS Toronto ?
