Despite strong words from the minister of Labrador Affairs on the lack of federal action expanding the military presence at 5 Wing Goose Bay, the mayor of Happy Valley-Goose Bay said he's content that promises will be fulfilled soon.Unstaffed?
John Hickey, MHA for Lake Melville and Minister of Labrador Affairs, said in a news release Friday that it was unacceptable for the federal government not to have fulfilled commitments to place personnel at the military facility.
He listed promises for a 650-man rapid action army battalion and an unstaffed aerial vehicle squadron among things not carried out.
