Mr. Speaker, the 7,000 employees of CFB Valcartier are also wondering what the future holds for them.
Valcartier is home to the 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, the largest operational formation in Quebec and the only francophone brigade in Canada. It injects over half a billion dollars a year into the economy.
Will this government reassure the troops, their families and the community by promising not to make any cuts to the Valcartier base?
