Mr. Chair, I listened intently to the minister's presentation. He mentioned the Ottawa Citizen and I am seeking some clarification.
A few weeks ago, the Minister of National Defence claimed that the HMCS Fredericton was flown over by Russian fighter jets while on a NATO mission in the Black Sea. I just want to know if this Ottawa Citizen reporter wrote that no such encounter took place. That is what appeared in the Ottawa Citizen.
Would the minister provide us with clarification on that issue?
