Clayton Forsey

From the proceedings of the Bow-Wow Parliament, May 6, 2009:

MR. FORSEY: Every time there is a cut by the federal government, Mr. Speaker, the Premier and this government has had to react to it because we do not want to see our youth and other people suffer because of irrational decisions by the federal government.

Mr. Speaker, again in 2008, a release, continued disregard for 5 Wing Goose Bay. The release says: during and since the 2006 federal election the federal government has made and reaffirmed plans for 5 Wing Goose Bay in the context of new federal priorities to protect Canadian sovereignty and security. The federal government committed to a new rapid reaction army battalion and a new long range on staffed aerial vehicle squadron for 5 Wing Goose Bay. None of these commitments have been fulfilled by Prime Minister Harper’s government.
