Mr. Speaker, in 2006 the Prime Minister promised to establish four air expeditionary wings in Canada. Since then, several announcements have been made concerning additional military personnel, but nothing has materialized. One month ago, the minister responsible for Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean told Le Quotidien that, by the end of 2009, 125 soldiers would arrive in Bagotville.
Can the Minister of National Defence confirm that 125 new soldiers will really, this time, be assigned to the Bagotville base by the end of 2009?
