Mr. Speaker, Corporal Glen Kirkland is one of the heroes of Canada who served so valiantly in Afghanistan. He appeared before the House of Commons defence committee, telling everyone of his fear that the military would try to release him early to deny him possible benefits. He wishes to be released on September 15, 2015, but the other day, he got a release notice saying that he is supposed to go in a few months.
The minister in the House said very clearly that he can stay as long as he desires, and so my question is quite simple. On behalf of Corporal Glen Kirkland, will the minister now honour his commitment and allow him to stay in the military until September 15, 2015? Yes or no.
