The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P., the Member for Calgary Southwest and the Prime Minister of Canada, today visited the Canadian Forces Base in Wainwright, in the Province of Alberta. The Prime Minister attended in the capacity of a Reviewing Officer for members of the Canadian Forces graduating from the Basic Infantry Qualification Course.
Mr. Harper proceeded to tour the base, which has been operating for over sixty years, and trains more than two thousand soldiers per year. The Prime Minister concluded his tour at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre, which endeavours to create the most effective and realistic weapons effect simulations to prepare entire groups of soldiers for missions and circumstances overseas.
I am proud to see Mr. Harper putting such emphasis on the Canadian Forces, in terms of their support from Canadians and the hard work they do. I have been quite surprised at the extreme focus on the Forces, which has been, in my opinion, a signature feature of this current Government of Canada — far more than I had seen from the previous Government of Canada in more recent years. For that, they should be commended. However, I would be happier with this Government if the Conservative Party of Canada would consider opening up the communication between the Government and the citizens, through our representatives in the House of Commons.
