Remembrance Day Ceremonies
More than 1,000 people braved a chilly November wind coming from the waters of the Mactaquac
headpond to attend the annual Remembrance Day service for the parishes of Douglas and Bright held at
Mactaquac's York Centennial Day Park. The record crowd from the surrounding communities joined war
veterans, members of the CAF, RCMP officers, local fire and ambulance brigades in honouring those who
have fallen and to reflect on the courage and gallantry of all those who serve and have served their
country (FDG B1).
Remembrance Day: Comment
Mukbir Singh, World Sikh Organization of Canada: Remembrance Day had particular significance for
Canadians this year, as we remembered not only the sacrifices of soldiers who died in the world wars, but
also those soldiers who recently died in the line of duty. Canadians were shocked by the attacks last
month on CF members WO Patrice Vincent and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. But as a Sikh, what struck a nerve
with me was that the two Canadian soldiers who were attacked and killed were targeted because of their
uniforms. Just one day after the orders from the CF, I observed a soldier in Ottawa walking home proudly
wearing his uniform. There is no doubt that his actions were in defiance of the atmosphere of fear that the
attackers wanted to create. As a Canadian Sikh, I believe in the power of a uniform and encourage our
friends in the CF to continue wearing their uniforms in public with pride (Gaz A19).

Man Impersonating Soldier
Allegations that someone was posing as a Canadian soldier have lit up social media – with actual
soldiers, past and present, rushing to condemn a man identified as Sgt. Franck Gervais. On
Remembrance Day, CBC reporter Diana Swain interviewed a man who was wearing the uniform of a
senior non-commissioned officer in the Royal Canadian Regiment and who identified himself as Franck
Gervais. But on Tuesday, the story began to unravel on social media. DND spokesperson Daniel
Lebouthillier wrote in an email: “The Canadian Armed Forces have no indication that Mr. Franck Gervais
is a member of the military. … Falsely impersonating a Canadian Armed Forces member is an issue to be
taken seriously and is covered under Section 419 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Such activities are a
disservice to the proud men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces, who earn the right to wear their
uniforms through their hard work and the sacrifices they make for our country.” The matter was called to
attention by WO Michael Womack, who spotted the man during the CBC interview. As of late last night,
the Ottawa Police said they were not investigating the matter at this point. The Sun's efforts to reach Mr.
Gervais for comment were not successful (S. Sherring: TSun 4, OSun 3, CSun 27; B. Crawford: Ctz A3;

CSIS Tracking Concerns and CSEC
has been left in the dark about the legality of tracking Canadian terror suspects overseas, the federal
government is telling the Supreme Court. The Conservatives have introduced legislation that would
amend the CSIS Act by explicitly allowing the spy service to seek a warrant to investigate a security threat
beyond Canada's borders. However, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney says the government still
wants the Supreme Court to clarify "important questions of law." In a pivotal late 2013 ruling, Federal
Court Justice Richard Mosley criticized CSIS over a request for warrants to track two Canadians with
technical help from CSEC, the country's electronic spy agency. Mr. Mosley said CSIS breached its duty of
candour by failing to disclose that CSEC's foreign counterparts in the Five Eyes intelligence network
could be called upon to help monitor the Canadians. He also warned CSIS and CSEC were incurring the
risk that Canadian targets "may be detained or otherwise harmed" as a result of the use of the intercepted
communications by foreign agencies (J. Bronskill, CP: MTT B3; J. Bronskill, CP: ctvnews.ca).
Veterans Protest Government
A group of angry veterans who want the Conservative government defeated in the next election is
appealing to serving members of the military to join them in protest. Ron Clarke, a member of Canada
Coalition for Veterans who has been campaigning against the closure of Veterans Affairs offices, made
the appeal Wednesday during a Parliament Hill news conference. It may put those in uniform in an
awkward position, but Mr. Clarke says they need a government sensitive to veterans and their needs (M.
Brewster, CP: Ctz A11, VTC A15, CG A7, RDA A6, HCH A12).
Russian Global Patrol Missions
In a show of military muscle amid tensions with the West, Russia will send long-range strategic bombers
on regular patrol missions across the globe, from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, a top official said
Wednesday. The announcement by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu came as NATO's chief
accused Russia of sending fresh troops and tanks into eastern Ukraine (V. Isachenkov, AP: VTC A15,
Ctz C8, CH A28, TStar A14).
Russia and Ukraine
A senior NATO official confirmed what Ukrainian military officials and monitors from the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe have been saying for days now: Russian troops and military
equipment are crossing the border into Ukraine, seemingly preparing for renewed military action, though
what exactly remains unclear (D. Herszenhorn, AP: NP A1, FDG B5; R. Oliphant: Ctz C8, CH A28, EJ
A18, SSP C5, Gaz A13; K. Demirijian: TStar A14; CTV National News 2300).
Russia and Ukraine: Comment
Gwynne Dyer: Nobody is going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. The Ukrainians were told years
ago that they couldn't shelter under NATO's security blanket, and they have decided to defy Moscow
anyway. They may pay a high price for that, and the Western alliance's relations with Russia may go into
the deep freeze for the remainder of Putin's reign. But it will be just a little local difficulty, not a huge event
that defines an entire era (LFP A6, KWS A4, RDA A4).
Algonquin Park Plane Crash
A deadly combination of nasty weather and pilot error may have caused a small plane to crash in
Algonquin Park Tuesday night. "The pilot had found himself disoriented in the clouds," Capt. Alexandre
Cadieux, a military spokesperson with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC), said. "Air traffic
control authorities then attempted to direct him to an appropriate place to land, but lost contact with the
pilot soon after." The JRCC deployed a Hercules aircraft and Griffin helicopter from CFB Trenton to
search for the doomed plane – an effort that was hampered by poor weather and difficult terrain. A
member of the search team was lowered to the ground, located the crash site and confirmed both men
were dead (C. Doucette: LFP B2, TSun 14; I. Thomaidis: OSun 10; A. Duffy: Ctz A2, RDA A8; T. Ha:

Oromocto Clinic: Comment
Fredericton Daily Gleaner editorial: On the day after a tremendous outpouring of support for Canadian
soldiers past and present, many of their families received some bad news. The plan to open a primary
care clinic in Oromocto has hit a snag and is on hold. While the collaborative care clinic is for Oromoctoarea residents, military families are particularly at risk. In November 2013, the Department of National
Defence ombudsman released a report about the issues facing soldiers' families. On the list is how
frequently many military families move and the stress involved in finding a new doctor time and time
again. In the absence of a family doctor, military families rely on walk-in clinics and emergency rooms for
non-urgent issues. One of the consequences, as noted in the report, is additional strain on the healthcare system. We must remember it's not only soldiers sacrificing a great a deal for our country - it's their
families as well (FDG A6).
Des coupures dénoncées
Un groupe d'anciens combattants accuse le gouvernement conservateur d'équilibrer ses finances sur le
dos de ceux qui ont combattu pour leur pays. Selon eux, la fermeture d'au moins neuf bureaux des
anciens combattants au pays par le gouvernement Harper démontre cet état de fait. En procédant à de
telles coupes, souligne la coalition de vétérans, le gouvernement conservateur tourne le dos à son
obligation morale de soutenir les soldats qui ont été blessés ou traumatisés au combat. Dès que les
élections seront déclenchées, le groupe Canadian Veterans Advocacy entend rappeler aux Canadiens le
traitement infligé aux anciens combattants par les conservateurs (Dv A3, SRC.ca).

More than 1,000 people braved a chilly November wind coming from the waters of the
Mactaquac headpond to attend the annual Remembrance Day service for the parishes of Douglas
and Bright held at Mactaquac's York Centennial Day Park.
The record crowd from the surrounding communities joined war veterans, members of the
Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP officers, local fire and ambulance brigades in honouring those
who have fallen and to reflect on the courage and gallantry of all those who serve and have
served their country.
The 1st Springhill Scouts with their leaders were on hand early to greet the public.
The Armed Forces under the command of Maj. Jeremy Cote and Master Warrant Officer Gerald
Desgroseilliers led the parade to the cenotaph, where the vigil party under the command of Sgt.
Christine Conway was stationed.
Veteran Harold Love of the Royal Canadian Legion, Millville Branch No. 59 was honorary
parade marshal and also laid the wreath on behalf of the branch.
The service opened with the singing of O Canada led by Ralph Stephenson.
The opening prayer was given by the pastor Stephen Hoyt of the Burtts Corner Baptist Church.
Eugene Price, chairman of the war memorial committee for the Douglas and Bright parishes,
welcomed all those that had gathered to honour both the fallen comrades and the heroes who had
been fortunate enough to return home. He spoke of the shifting demographics and decline
amongst the country's veterans with about 80,000 Second War World veterans at an average age
of 89 and just over 9,500 Korean Veterans at an average age of 81 remaining.
"More recent events in both Ottawa and Quebec and the recent tragedy in Moncton have
certainly impacted us all and have given us an appreciation of our precious freedoms, which we
so often take for granted. This has certainly encouraged people to come out and support both
those who have gone before us and those who currently serve," he said.
Pastor Gordon Weatherby from the Church of Christ, Dorn Ridge gave the address.
Weatherby said the lives and sacrifices made are worthy of remembrance.
"They are worthy of remembrance and honour because they accepted the call to stand for our
nation," he said.
"We remember because it is too costly to forget. It is not that war is such a grand and wonderful
thing that we choose and even desire to remember it. No, it is because war is so ugly, and
requires so great a cost that we must never forget," Weatherby said.
Following the last post and reveille, the lament was played by local piper Kenneth Moore.
Two volleys were fired from an LG1/105 mm Howitzer - signalling the beginning and ending of
the two minutes' silence - by the gun detachment members of 5th Canadian Division Support
Base Gagetown's artillery school.
Under the direction of Norma Gene Jones, numerous wreaths were placed by families, friends
and various organizations and businesses remembering all those who have served in times of
war.
MP Mike Allen placed a wreath on behalf of the federal government.
The service concluded with the singing of God Save the Queen led by Ralph Stephenson and the
closing prayer was delivered by pastor Bev Jewett of the Keswick United Baptist Church.
Music for the service was provided by the Celebration Ensemble, directed by Erma Hawkes of
Fredericton and the singing was led by Ralph Stephenson of the war memorial committee.
Moore and fellow piper Paul Duivenvoorden along with drummer Eric Duivenvoorden led the
parade to and from the cenotaph.
Following the ceremony at the Cenotaph, a reception was held at Mactaquac Baptist Church.

Headline: Targeted for proudly wearing their uniform in public; Recent attacks on Canadian
soldiers struck a nerve with Sikhs

Remembrance Day had particular significance for Canadians this year, as we remembered not
only the sacrifices of soldiers who died in the world wars, but also those soldiers who recently
died in the line of duty. Canadians were shocked by the attacks last month on Canadian Forces
members Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who died after being struck by a vehicle in StJeansur-Richelieu, and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was gunned down while standing guard at the
National War Memorial in Ottawa.
But as a Sikh, what struck a nerve with me was that the two Canadian soldiers who were
attacked and killed were targeted because of their uniforms. As a result, restrictions were placed
on Canadian soldiers' wearing of uniforms in public.
For Sikhs living in Canada and the U.S., being targeted for what we are wearing is an all-tooreal
problem. Sikh men and women wearing turbans are more likely to be physically and verbally
harassed than the average Canadian. Following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Sikhs were
attacked and even murdered on numerous occasions. I bring up this sombre information not to
elicit sympathy, but rather to make the point that Sikhs bring a unique perspective on the issue of
uniforms and targeting that has yet to be shared.
The turban and the five articles of faith worn by initiated Sikh men and women (often called the
Five Ks) are a uniform for the Khalsa - the collective of Sikhs dedicated to fighting injustice.
During times of conflict and war, when Sikhs stood up for freedom of religion against the
invading Mughal armies, the 10th guru of the Sikhs assigned a particular code of conduct and
uniform for the Khalsa. This uniform made the Khalsa stand out and be recognized, as it allowed
for immediate identification. The uniform was a representation of the ideals of the Sikh faith,
such as equality and resistance to tyranny. It stood as a marker of sovereignty, dedication, selfrespect, courage and piety.
One can only assume that this uniform increased the Khalsa's chances of being noticed and
attacked. But it also brought along a visual identity representing the ideals that they were fighting
for - a visual identity that others could recognize and support.
We are also proud that many Sikhs serve in the Canadian Forces wearing both the uniform of a
Canadian soldier, as well as the uniform given to them by their Sikh faith. It was significant for
us that the announcement of the first Sikh woman to wear the turban while serving in the Royal
Canadian Navy came just days after the attacks on Canadian Forces members.
A soldier's uniform is a visual representation of the values that soldier stands for - a Canadian
Armed Forces soldier's uniform is no different. There is, of course, no objection to soldiers
maintaining a low profile temporarily; however, permanently asking troops not to wear the
uniform in public would go too far.
Just one day after the orders from the Canadian Forces, I observed a soldier in Ottawa walking
home proudly wearing his uniform. There is no doubt that his actions were in defiance of the
atmosphere of fear that the attackers wanted to create.
As a Canadian Sikh, I believe in the power of a uniform and encourage our friends in the
Canadian Forces to continue wearing their uniforms in public with pride.

Canada. He lives in Montreal.

OTTAWA--Allegations that someone was posing as a Canadian soldier have lit up social media-with actual soldiers, past and present, rushing to condemn a man identified as Sgt. Franck
Gervais.
The general public was not far behind with their condemnation of anyone who might pretend to
be a member of the military.
On Remembrance Day, CBC reporter Diana Swain interviewed a man who was wearing the
uniform of a senior non-commissioned officer in the Royal Canadian Regiment and who
identified himself as Franck Gervais.
"For me, it's really important to remember that people have fought for our freedom. They didn't
fight for themselves," the man told the CBC.
But on Tuesday, the story began to unravel on social media.
After looking into the matter, the CBC issued a statement: "During CBC's extensive coverage of
Remembrance Day commemorations in Ottawa, we interviewed many veterans and serving
members of the Canadian Forces. These included one man who had been standing among a
group of uniformed personnel. To civilian eyes, he appeared to be an authentic soldier. We have
since learned that he was not, that his uniform was not correct, and that he was wearing medals
he had not earned.
"All this was drawn to our attention by veterans and serving members, who were understandably
angry at seeing this counterfeit soldier. We regret this, and are following up to learn more about
the man," the statement read.
And this from the Department of National Defence: "The Canadian Armed Forces have no
indication that Mr. Franck Gervais is a member of the military," Daniel Lebouthillier told the
Sun in an e-mail.
"Falsely impersonating a Canadian Armed Forces member is an issue to be taken seriously and is
covered under Section 419 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
"Such activities are a disservice to the proud men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces,
who earn the right to wear their uniforms through their hard work and the sacrifices they make
for our country."
Exactly.
It's no wonder the military and the general public would react so negatively and so vehemently to
this type of imposter.
Especially during a time when wearing a uniform can make you both a target for violence and
the subject of adulation, with the general public so incredibly thankful for all the military does to
keep us safe.
And frankly, for reasons that are hard to verbalize, to do so on Remembrance Day --a day we
have heavy hearts for those who have fallen and those who could--to pretend to be of that same
ilk, well, honestly, words fail.
The issue was brought to light by Warrant Officer Michael Womack, who saw the CBC
interview on Remembrance Day and felt something didn't sit right, there were just too many
discrepancies with what this man was wearing.
Womack put the word out on social media and was deluged with angry responses from both
those in the military and the general public.
One of those to respond was Greg Collette, a retired member of The Royal Canadian Regiment.
"You can see this phony has been at it for some time now. There are so many things wrong with
his uniform it is hard to believe that no one has caught him before yesterday. Gleaming
problems: First, the Van Dyke facial hair, a clear violation of military regulations. Second, the
red sash he is wearing over his shoulder is for infantry members only. His cap badge in these
photos has him other than infantry. Even more gleaming is he is wearing the sash over the wrong
shoulder. Lastly, the third major problem is that he is wearing his sash over the wrong shoulder
because he is wearing a braided lanyard over his shoulder that is only for officers who are
conducting an Aid De Camp for a more senior officer," Collette told the Sun in an e-mail.
"Enough is enough!"
As of late last night, the Ottawa Police said they were not investigating the matter at this point.
The Sun's efforts to reach Gervais for comment were not successful. Reached by CBC, his wife
declined to comment.

Did an impostor pass himself off as a Canadian soldier during this week's Remembrance Day
ceremony at the National War Memorial? That's the question being asked after the Department
of National Defence said Wednesday it has no record of any employee named Franck Gervais or
Sgt. Franck Gervais. That's how a man dressed in a soldier's uniform identified himself during a
nationally televised interview at Tuesday's ceremony. CBC reporter Diana Swain interviewed the
man, who was wearing the uniform of a senior non-commissioned officer in the Royal Canadian
Regiment.
"For me it's really important to remember that people have fought for our freedom. They didn't
fight for themselves," the man told the network.
He also spoke to a Citizen reporter Tuesday, saying in comments not previously printed: "We
fought together. It's brothers."
Halfway across the country, Warrant Officer Michael Womack was watching the TV interview
in Wainwright, Alta., as he prepared for his own unit's Nov. 11 ceremony.
Something about it just didn't seem right, he says.
"I saw the interview and I was like, 'Wait a second, I should know him because that's an RCR
cap badge and a maroon beret.' I didn't know him, so I said to my wife, 'Something's not right
here.' " After the ceremony at Garrison Wainwright, Womack rewatched a recording of the
Ottawa ceremony.
"Everything about him was wrong," Womack said.
Among the apparent incongruities cited by Womack: The man portraying himself as a soldier
wore a pathfinders badge, an advanced reconnaissance award worn by a select few soldiers; the
beret perched on his head was too small; he should have been wearing a red sash over his
shoulder, something all infantry NCOs wear when in dress uniform with their medals; he wore
an outdated brigade patch on his right shoulder; and his beavershaped collar dogs were crooked.
"No NCO worth his salt would have gone anywhere in public without them perfectly lined up,"
Womack said.
The interviewed man also wore a Governor General's Medal of Bravery.
A quick check of the Rideau Hall website shows that no one named Frank Gervais has earned the
honour.
The Citizen tried but was unable to reach Gervais on Wednesday. The CBC reported it had
reached his wife but that she declined to comment.
Womack spread the word on social media to others in the military and passed along his findings
to the military chain of command.
The matter will likely be turned over to Ottawa police since the military police have no
jurisdiction.
It is a Criminal Code offence to impersonate a soldier.
Womack's own sleuthing found the man's name and address, and he heard from another soldier
who said he recognized the man from cadets. He also has heard reports that the man bought some
of his RCR regalia on the website Kijiji a few days before the Remembrance Day ceremony.
"He would pass - and did pass - cursory inspection," by a civilian, Womack said.

A man interviewed by the CBC during a Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa on Tuesday
falsely identified himself as a sergeant in the Canadian Armed Forces, according to the

The man, who referred to himself as Franck Gervais during CBC's coverage at the National War
Memorial, is not a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, according to the Department of
National Defence.
The CBC said it received several calls from veterans and soldiers who saw Gervais in uniform
during the interview and pointed to inaccuracies in his claim.
According to section 419 under the Criminal Code, it is an offence to wear a Canadian Armed
Forces uniform or a similar uniform that "is likely to be mistaken" for an authentic one.
The CBC said the man had been standing by other officials dressed in uniform when he was
interviewed.
"To civilian eyes, he appeared to be an authentic soldier," the broadcaster said in an emailed

Headline: CSIS needs 'certainty' on tracking, feds argue
Page: B3
Outlet: Times & Transcript (Moncton)
Byline: THE CANADIAN PRESS
Date: Thursday 13 November 2014
OTTAWA * The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has been left in the dark about the
legality of tracking Canadian terror suspects overseas, the federal government is telling the
Supreme Court.
In arguments filed with the high court, the government says CSIS needs "certainty" as to how it
can monitor possible Canadian extremists who venture abroad.
Federal lawyers are asking the Supreme Court to settle the matter, saying lower courts made
"significant errors" in dealing with this "highly sensitive area."
Security agencies are feverishly investigating radicalized Canadians who head overseas with the
aim of joining Islamic extremists. Officials fear battle-hardened jihadis could return to Canada to
plot attacks.
At issue is what legal steps must be taken to enlist Canada's closest allies to help with foreign
tracking of Canadians, and how forthcoming CSIS must be with federal judges when seeking
such powers.
"In the struggle against terrorism, Canada must pay close attention to the threatening activities of
its own citizens, wherever they may be," says the federal brief filed in the Supreme Court.
"Certainty as to how it can engage in that monitoring according to law is a matter of public
importance."
The government submitted the arguments secretly in late September. They were unsealed
recently following the release of the public version of a Federal Court of Appeal ruling in the
long-running matter.
It could be weeks or even months before the Supreme Court decides whether to hear the case.
Meantime, the Conservatives have introduced legislation that would amend the CSIS Act by
explicitly allowing the spy service to seek a warrant to investigate a security threat beyond
Canada's borders.
However, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney says the government still wants the Supreme
Court to clarify "important questions of law."
In a pivotal late 2013 ruling, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley criticized CSIS over a request
for warrants to track two Canadians with technical help from the Communications Security
Establishment Canada, the country's electronic spy agency.
Mosley said CSIS breached its duty of candour by failing to disclose that CSEC's foreign
counterparts in the Five Eyes intelligence network could be called upon to help monitor the
Canadians.
He also warned CSIS and CSEC were incurring the risk that Canadian targets "may be detained
or otherwise harmed" as a result of the use of the intercepted communications by foreign
agencies.
The Federal Court of Appeal upheld Mosley's judgment in a ruling handed down in July but
made public in censored form just this month.
In its brief to the Supreme Court, the government says if CSIS and the attorney general are to be
taken to task for a lack of candour, there must be clear guidance on the scope of disclosure
required. "With respect, a legal basis for demanding such disclosure has not been shown, and no
clear guidance has been given to prevent future misunderstandings."
The Court of Appeal declared that a warrant is required when CSIS - either directly or through
the auspices of a foreign spy service - uses "intrusive" methods such as interception of
telecommunications. It said such warrants could be issued when the interception "is lawful where
it occurs."
Federal lawyers say they are left with many questions about what the appeal court meant.
"CSIS must be able to carry out its crucial role in gathering intelligence on threats to the security
of Canada confident that they are acting within the law, and the public is also entitled to know
what constraints are imposed on CSIS in this regard," says the federal submission.
It is expected that an amicus curiae, or friend of the court, will make opposing arguments in the
application for a high court hearing. The amicus would continue in the role if the Supreme Court
agrees to take the case.
The government says the case could generally be argued in an open hearing. However, some
evidence might be filed in secret due to national security concerns. As a result, some proceedings
may go behind closed doors at the request of the parties or the court itself.

Headline: Angry vets enlist help to protest Tories; Veterans call on those in service
Page: A11
Date: Thursday 13 November 2014
Source: The Canadian Press
A group of angry veterans who want the Conservative government defeated in the next election
is appealing to serving members of the military to join them in protest.
Ron Clarke, a member of Canada Coalition for Veterans who has been campaigning against the
closure of Veterans Affairs offices, made the appeal Wednesday during a Parliament Hill news
conference.
It may put those in uniform in an awkward position, but Clarke says they need a government
sensitive to veterans and their needs.
"We need a government that looks after our veterans," he said.
The plea is just the latest move in what is a major rift in the veterans community, one that has the
potential of undermining the coalition's aim of galvanizing votes against the Conservatives.
Last week, a group of outspoken veterans' advocates announced that six organizations had
formed a coalition that would, at a minimum, boycott government announcements and photoops.
The coalition says a low-key approach to confronting the government has not worked and
spokesman Mike Blais says the Royal Canadian Legion seems satisfied with current disability
awards for the most severely wounded troops.
Soldiers injured in combat are eligible for a one-time, lump-sum payment for non-economic loss
that ranges up to $350,000.
"The Legion believes $350,000 is OK and the consultation group they have formed believes
that's OK. We do not," said Blais, who is president of Canadian Veterans Advocacy. "We have
done extensive consultation with those who have suffered the consequences of war in
Afghanistan. I have spoken to memorial cross mothers and those who are suffering."
Blais argues - as does a group of Afghan veterans in a lawsuit against the federal government that the old system of pensions for life was more generous than the new veterans charter,
introduced by the Liberals, but fully embraced by the Harper government in 2006.
Scott Ferris, a spokesman for the Legion, denies his organization is satisfied with the charter and
points to a national letter-writing campaign that was started in late October, calling on members
to buttonhole their MPs and demand change.
He also denied the Legion is happy with the current lump-sum benefits, saying it supports an
increase to the level of civilian court awards, which statistics suggest are more than one-third
higher than what soldiers receive for lost limbs and pain and suffering.
Veterans receive a host of other income support that in theory would match what an individual
received under the old system, but Blais said it's a false narrative.
"Our men and women served in harm's way. We cannot compare their sacrifice to a workplace
injury," he said.
A spokeswoman for Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino noted that a House of Commons
committee concluded in a report last June that the majority of veterans are "well served" by the
system.
The all-party veterans committee unanimously endorsed a series of recommendations, but
opposition parties pulled their support in September when the government's response failed to
live up to expectations. Even still, spokeswoman Ashlee Smith says "minister Fantino is
committed to closing gaps."
Once the election is called, Clarke said, he intends to drive across the country to each of the nine
districts where Veterans Affairs closed offices last winter to rally opposition to the
Conservatives.
He calls it the "ABC Campaign" - Anything But Conservative. It's a nod to former Conservative
Newfoundland premier Danny Williams, who in 2008 launched his own ABC campaign against
the Harper government over a broken equalization promise.

In a show of military muscle amid tensions with the West, Russia will send long-range strategic

Mexico, a top official said Wednesday.
The announcement by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu came as NATO's chief accused
Russia of sending fresh troops and tanks into eastern Ukraine.
"Over the last few days, we have seen multiple reports of large convoys moving into Eastern
Ukraine," said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. "We assess that this significant
military buildup includes Russian artillery, tanks, air defence systems and troops."
His statement called the situation a "severe threat to the ceasefire."
Moscow denied the allegation.
But Shoigu also said the dispute with the West over Ukraine would require Russia to beef up its
forces in the Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed in March.
Shoigu said Russian long-range bombers will conduct flights along Russian borders and over the
Arctic Ocean. He said, "In the current situation we have to maintain military presence in the
western Atlantic and eastern Pacific, as well as the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico."
Shoigu would not say how frequent the patrol missions would be or offer any other specifics, but
he noted that the increasing pace and duration of flights would require stronger maintenance
efforts and that relevant directives have been issued to industries.
He said the Russian air force's long-range planes also will conduct "reconnaissance missions to
monitor foreign powers' military activities and maritime communications."
A senior U.S. military official said Russia has not previously flown actual bomber patrols over
the Gulf of Mexico, including during the Cold War.

Tanks and other military vehicles towing heavy weapons pouring over the border from Russia
into eastern Ukraine. Nightly artillery battles in the region's biggest city, Donetsk, and reports of
fighting around another regional capital. And now, sightings of the "green men," professional
soldiers in green uniforms without insignia, the same type of forces that carried out the invasion
of Crimea in the spring.
A senior NATO official confirmed Wednesday what Ukrainian military officials and monitors
from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have been saying for days now:
Russian troops and military equipment are crossing the border into Ukraine, seemingly preparing
for renewed military action, though what exactly remains unclear.
The assertion drew stern and dismissive denials from Moscow, which for months has denied
military intervention in eastern Ukraine, despite numerous reports to the contrary.
In light of recent developments, Western officials finally seem ready to acknowledge a ceasefire
agreement signed in September had fallen apart, and that the threat to peace in Europe had
returned in a possibly more virulent form.
The official, Gen. Philip Breedlove, the supreme allied commander Europe of NATO said that it
"is concerned about convoys of trucks taking artillery and supplies into east Ukraine from
Russia."
He said there were increased numbers of Russian forces in east Ukraine, training militants
including in the use of sophisticated weaponry.
"Across the last two days we have seen the same thing that OSCE is reporting," Gen. Breedlove
said at a news conference in Sofia, Bulgaria.
"We have seen columns of Russian equipment, primarily Russian tanks, Russian artillery,
Russian air defence systems and Russian combat troops entering into Ukraine."
A meeting of the United Nations Security Council held Wednesday at the behest of United States
- the 26th emergency session on Ukraine - ended with no decision on a response, as the UN
warned of a possible return to "full-scale fighting" in the rebel-held east.
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power told the council that Russia "talks of peace, but it keeps
fuelling war."
Russia's deputy representative, Alexander Pankin, began his remarks by warning that council
meetings should not turn into farces and called the storm of criticism from fellow council
members "yet another foray into propaganda with new flourishes."
The full scope of the Russian incursion was not clear, Gen. Breedlove said.
"We do not have a good picture at this time of how many," he said. "We agree that there are
multiple columns that we have seen; we agree with the OSCE reports. And as to their intent: I'm
not sure."
Russia denied that any of its troops or equipment had crossed into eastern Ukraine, and a
government spokesman dismissed Gen. Breedlove as unreliable and "alarmist."
"We have stressed repeatedly that there have never been and there are no facts behind the regular
blasts of hot air from Brussels regarding the supposed presence of Russian armed forces in
Ukraine," the spokesman, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov told Russian news agencies. "We have
stopped paying attention to NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Gen. Philip Breedlove's
unfounded statements alleging that he observed Russian military convoys invading Ukraine."
Sporadic fighting has continued from virtually the moment the truce agreement was signed on
Sept. 5 in Belarus, Minsk by Ukraine and Russia, as well as by representatives of separatist
groups in eastern Ukraine and the OSCE, which helped broker the deal. Ukrainian officials have
complained all along that Russia was taking advantage of the so-called truce to reinforce the
rebels in eastern Ukraine with more fighters and equipment.
For weeks, however, officials on all sides had insisted that the ceasefire was holding.
For the government of President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine, acknowledging the failure of the
ceasefire would have meant conceding his inability to exert control in the war zone. For Russia,
it would have meant raising the likelihood of additional economic sanctions by Europe and the
United States. And for Western officials it would have meant pressure to impose additional
sanctions, unpopular among business interests in their own countries.

Russian combat troops backed by tanks, artillery, and air defence systems have crossed into
separatist-held parts of eastern Ukraine since the beginning of the week, NATO's supreme
commander in Europe said Wednesday. The comments from U.S. Gen. Phillip Breedlove came
as Ukraine demanded an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council and ordered
its army to prepare for combat against a renewed separatist offensive. "Across the last two days
... we have seen columns of Russian equipment, primarily Russian tanks, Russian artillery,
Russian air defence systems and Russian combat troops entering into Ukraine," Breedlove said.
"We do not have a good picture at this time of how many. We agree that there are multiple
columns that we have seen." The comments follow a rapid escalation of violence that has raised
fears of a return to the all-out war that was supposed to have ended with a ceasefire deal signed
in September.
Russia immediately denied the allegations, saying "there was and is no evidence" of Russian
troops crossing the border.
Igor Konashenkov, a defence ministry spokesman, said Russia had "stopped paying attention to
unfounded statements" by Breedlove "about his 'seeing' Russian military columns that are
allegedly invading Ukraine."
Pavlo Klimkin, Ukraine's foreign minister, said he would seek an immediate meeting of the UN
Security Council.
Ukraine and the rebels are both nominally bound by a shaky ceasefire signed in Minsk on Sept.
5. But violence has intensified since separatists held leadership elections in areas of the Donetsk
and Luhansk region they control on Nov. 2. Donetsk, the largest rebel-held city, experienced its
worst night of shelling for months on Sunday, as a battle for control of the city's airport
intensified.
Journalists and observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
(OSCE) have reported several large military convoys moving through rebel-held territory over
the past two weeks. On Tuesday, the OSCE mission warned of a "rising" risk of military
escalation in the area.
Ukrainian officials believe the goal of a new offensive would be to demonstrate that the
separatists can win back territory, strengthening their hand at the negotiating table, and to
discredit the Ukrainian government at home.

NATO accused Russia of sending troops and weapons into eastern Ukraine Wednesday, as
Ukrainian officials announced that they were bracing for a return to hostilities in the eastern part
of the country.
U.S. Gen. Philip Breedlove, NATO's top commander, told reporters in Bulgaria that the Western
alliance had observed "columns of Russian equipment, primarily Russian tanks, Russian
artillery, Russian air-defence systems and Russian combat troops, entering into Ukraine" over
the past few days.
"There is no question anymore about Russia's direct military involvement in Ukraine," Breedlove
said.
Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, swiftly dismissed the
accusations as "hot air," arguing there are "no facts" to support "the supposed presence of
Russian armed forces in Ukraine."
But Breedlove's charges are only the latest alarm bell NATO and its allies have sounded in
recent days.
Last week, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the organization had observed
Russian troops moving closer to the Ukrainian border. By Friday, Ukraine had accused Russia of
sending troops, tanks and weapons into eastern Ukraine - the same day the Ukrainian military
claimed to have killed up to 200 pro-Russian separatist fighters during a skirmish around the
Donetsk airport.
Over the past few days, monitors working for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe have reported seeing convoys of weapons and other military systems moving west
through eastern Ukraine.
The situation threatens to derail a tenuous two-month-old ceasefire between government troops
and pro-Russia militias fighting for control of eastern Ukraine. Tensions have been quickly
escalating since Nov. 2 elections in Ukraine's rebel-held eastern territories, which Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenko said last week had jeopardized "the entire peace process" - but which
Russian officials said they would respect. Poroshenko also called last week for deploying
military units to the east and south of Ukraine to safeguard against potential attacks from proRussia separatists.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak told Ukrainian government
officials that plans to redirect military reserves to potential flashpoints in the east and south of
the country are underway, and that the Ukrainian army will be preparing itself for wintertime
combat because of an uptick in activity the Ukrainian government had noted among separatist
militias.

"The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say that it has already begun," said Mikhail
Gorbachev, the man who inadvertently administered a mercy killing to communism in Europe.
He played a leading role in ending the last Cold War and he's practically a secular saint. Surely
he knows what he's talking about.
No, he doesn't. Not only has this new Cold War not begun, but you couldn't get it going even if
you tried. The raw material for such an enterprise is simply unavailable.
Gorbachev was speaking in Berlin on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even he
would agree that turned out to be a good thing, but he is more ambivalent about the collapse of
European communism and the dismantling of the Soviet Union.
Gorbachev is a romantic, and he undoubtedly agrees with his rather less cuddly successor as
president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, that the collapse of the Soviet Union was "the greatest
geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century."
So he naturally ends up defending Putin's actions and blaming the United States and NATO for
this alleged drift into a new Cold War.
It's all nonsense. Nothing could have saved the old Soviet Union. Only half its population was
Russian. When it finally dissolved, 15 different nations emerged from the wreckage, and its
collapse was no greater a loss to civilization than the fall of the British or French empires.
And the main reason you can't have a new Cold War is precisely because the "evil empire" (as
Ronald Reagan famously called the Soviet Union) no longer exists. There is only Russia, a
largely de-industrialized country that makes its living by exporting oil and gas.
Russia has only 140 million people, and its armies are no longer based around Berlin and all
through eastern Europe. They are 1,500 kilometres further east, guarding Russia's own frontiers.
They occasionally grab a bit of territory that isn't covered by a NATO guarantee (Abkhazia,
South Ossetia, Transnistria, Crimea, Luhansk, Donestk), but they dare not go any further.
Which leaves the question: who is to blame for this regrettable hostility between Russia and the
Western powers?
The West, in Gorbachev's view. In fact, he had a whole list of complaints about Western threats,
crimes and betrayals.
NATO broke its promise and let all the Eastern European countries that had been Soviet
satellites during the Cold War join NATO. It let Kosovo declare its independence from Russia's
traditional friend, Serbia. It launched wars of "regime change" in the Middle East (Afghanistan,
Iraq, Libya) that Moscow disapproved of.
Diddums. Yes, Russia has been invaded a lot in its history, but the licence to be paranoid expires
after 50 years without an invasion.
Of course the Eastern European countries all clamoured to join NATO; they're still terrified of
Russia.
The Western great powers do lots of stupid stuff and some seriously bad stuff. So has Russia,
under Putin, in the past decade and a half.
Nobody is going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. The Ukrainians were told years ago that
they couldn't shelter under NATO's security blanket, and they have decided to defy Moscow
anyway.
They may pay a high price for that, and the Western alliance's relations with Russia may go into
the deep freeze for the remainder of Putin's reign.
But it will be just a little local difficulty, not a huge event that defines an entire era.

TORONTO -- A deadly combination of nasty weather and pilot error may have caused a small
plane to crash in Algonquin Park Tuesday night.
Officials say the Cessna 150, owned by a Toronto-based company, was flying somewhere over
the Haliburton area when the pilot declared an "airborne emergency" around 8:30 p.m.
The single-engine aircraft ran out of fuel about an hour later and crashed into the densely
forested provincial park about 20 kilometres south of Whitney, killing the pilot, a 25-year-old
man from India, and his passenger, a man in his 20s who also was not from Canada.
"The pilot had found himself disoriented in the clouds," Capt. Alexandre Cadieux, a military
spokesperson with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC), said.
"Air traffic control authorities then attempted to direct him to an appropriate place to land, but
lost contact with the pilot soon after."
The JRCC deployed a Hercules aircraft and Griffin helicopter from CFB Trenton to search for
the doomed plane -- an effort that was hampered by poor weather and difficult terrain.
Crews picked up the crashed Cessna's emergency beacon, but the military aircraft were not able
to land in the area.
A member of the search team was lowered to the ground, located the crash site and confirmed
both men were dead at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The victims' names have not been released.
The pilot, who had 200 hours of flying time, rented the Cessna 150 from Fly Block Time and
took off from Buttonville Airport in Markham, Tuesday morning.
The Cessna was expected to make stops in Peterborough, Quebec City and Ottawa before
returning to Buttonville, a source said. It appears the pilot ended up off course and lost in bad
weather in a plane that was not equipped for such conditions.
Fly Block Time says the plane, one of three registered to the company, was made in 1976, had
undergone a maintenance inspection just last week and was "fully air-worthy."
"The aircraft was flying fine," a spokesperson, who refused to give his name, said Wednesday.
He said the plane was capable of flying at night under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), meaning in
weather conditions that are clear enough for a pilot to fly by sight.
However, a source said the conditions the Cessna flew into Tuesday night would fall under
Instrument Flight Rules, meaning the visibility is so poor that the pilot must be able to fly using
only the instruments in the flight deck.
The Cessna did not have the instruments needed for IFR flying.
OPP and the Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

TORONTO -- Two young men are dead after a small plane crashed in Algonquin Provincial
Park Tuesday night.
The Cessna 150 declared an "airborne emergency" while in the vicinity of Haliburton, Ont.,
north of Toronto, around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Capt. Alexandre Cadieux, a military spokesman
with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, said.
"The pilot had found himself disoriented in the clouds," Cadieux said. "Air traffic control
authorities then attempted to direct him to an appropriate place to land but lost contact with the
pilot soon after."
Capt. Dave Bows of JRCC said the weather was poor and the plane was low on fuel when it
contacted air traffic control.
The JRCC deployed a Hercules aircraft and a Griffin helicopter from CFB Trenton in a searchand-rescue effort.
Early Wednesday, crews picked up an emergency beacon signal, which eventually led them to
the crash site in dense bush near the park's south end, about 290 km north of Toronto.
"Unfortunately, two deceased males were located at this time," Cadieux said.
Both men were in their 20s and died on impact, Bows said.
The doomed flight reportedly took off from Buttonville Airport in Markham, northeast of
Toronto, where it was also scheduled to return.

A Cessna airplane crashed in Algonquin Provincial Park Tuesday evening, killing the pilot and
passenger, about eight hours after violating protected airspace in Ottawa during the
Remembrance Day ceremony.
Authorities say the pilot of the small plane grew disoriented and ran out of fuel before he could
find a safe place to land.Capt. Dave Bowes of the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton
said the pilot and his passenger - both men in their 20s - were killed.
A Transport Canada incident report shows the pilot issued a mayday call before the crash,
reporting that he was lost and low on fuel. The plane went down in a section of the park
northeast of Haliburton.
Capt. Alexandre Cadieux saidthe plane was found after a Hercules aircraft sent to the area with a
Gri n helicopter from Canadian Forces Base Trenton picked up an emergency signal early
Wednesday.
Officials said the plane, a twoplace Cessna 150, was flying from Rockcli eAirport toButtonville,
north of Toronto, where it had originated.
"He was airborne and lost near Bancroft. Initially, he thought he was near (Lake) Simcoe, but he
was lost and low on fuel," Bowes said."They were disoriented, flying at night with - I would
expect - a little amount of flight experience."
That inexperience also raised alarm in Ottawa earlier in the day. According to a Transport
Canada daily occurrence report, the same Cessna violated the protected airspace over Rideau
Hall at 11:44 a.m. - during the latter stages of the Remembrance Day ceremony in downtown
Ottawa.
The report said the pilot was flying 1,400 feet while making an approach to a runwayat Rockcli e
Airport, maintained by the Rockcli e Flying Club. No action was taken by authorities.
The Transportation Safety Board is now investigating the circumstances of Tuesday's crash in
Algonquin Park.
The company that owns the plane, Fly Block Time, said the aircraft was "fully serviceable and
airworthy" and equipped for night flight.
Fully fuelled, the plane could fly for about four and a halfhours, the company said in a statement.

A small plane that crashed in Algonquin Provincial Park on Tuesday night had wandered into the
restricted airspace above the Governor-General's residence just after the Remembrance Day
ceremonies.
The Cessna 150, which had left from the Buttonville municipal airport near Toronto, was on its
way back from Ottawa later in the evening when it got lost and ran out of fuel. A military search
operation located the crash site on Wednesday morning and found that the two men aboard, a
pilot and a passenger in their 20s, had died.
The incident over Rideau Hall was minor and did not result in any actions from authorities. The
restricted airspace is located near Ottawa's Rockcliffe airport, where the plane was heading.
According to Transport Canada records, about eight hours before it crashed, the plane had
strayed into CYR538, the restricted airspace over Rideau Hall, the residence of Canada's
governorsgeneral.
Records show that the incident took place at ``1644 Z,'' meaning 4:44 p.m. Co-ordinated
Universal Time, or around 11:44 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. At that moment, the
Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa was concluding at the National War Memorial.
At the RCMP's request, since February, 2012, pilots cannot fly without authorization into the
airspace above Parliament Hill and Rideau Hall, to an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level.
At the time the Cessna crossed into the Rideau Hall restricted zone, it was flying at 1,400 feet.
Regional air traffic controllers lost contact with the aircraft south of Algonquin Provincial Park,
said a spokesman for the Royal Canadian Air Force.

2 dead as flight from Buttonville crashes
Two men in their 20s are dead after a small plane out of Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport
went down in Algonquin Park Tuesday evening.
The pilot of a Cessna 150 was lost and seeking a safe place to land when he ran out of fuel and
crashed in the Ontario provincial park, said Capt. Alexandre Cadieux of the Joint Rescue

4:35 a.m. Wednesday; the pilot and passenger were found dead at the scene.
The plane left Tuesday on a "round robin," meaning it would land back at Buttonville, but the
pilot contacted air traffic control that evening saying he was "disoriented in clouds and was
concerned that he was going to run out of fuel before he was able to find a suitable landing area,"
said Cadieux. After seeking an airport for about 50 minutes, Houde said, "the pilot

Headline: Clinic needs new plan stat

Date: Thursday 13 November 2014
On the day after a tremendous outpouring of support for Canadian soldiers past and present,
many of their families received some bad news.
The plan to open a primary care clinic in Oromocto has hit a snag and is on hold.
In July, the provincial government, Horizon Health Network and the 5th Canadian Division
Support Base Gagetown announced a building on Iroquois Avenue would be renovated to house
the Oromocto Health Clinic. The clinic was expected to open by the end of the month. Base
Gagetown now says the former home of the Oromocto Food, Clothing and Furniture Bank isn't
suitable. The property would need "extensive upgrades" to the foundation, drainage and air
circulation.
"Upgrading this location to today's standards would well exceed the funds available for the
project," the base said in a statement.
The clinic is expected to consist of a doctor, two nurse practitioners, licenced and practical
nurses, a dietitian, a social worker and a community developer and would serve about 3,000
patients. There are 19,887 New Brunswickers on the wait-list for a doctor.
The budget for the renovation is $650,000. The base plans to meet with the province, the
Horizon Health Network and the town of Oromocto to discuss other options. Those discussions
need to take place sooner rather than later.
While the collaborative care clinic is for Oromocto-area residents, military families are
particularly at risk. In November 2013, the Department of National Defence ombudsman
released a report about the issues facing soldiers' families. On the list is how frequently many
military families move and the stress involved in finding a new doctor time and time again. In
the absence of a family doctor, military families rely on walk-in clinics and emergency rooms for
non-urgent issues. One of the consequences, as noted in the report, is additional strain on the
health-care system.
Oromocto-Lincoln MLA Jody Carr says one option is to open discussions with the operators of a
special-care home set to open in 2015. This is a good place start. The base and its partners need
explore any and all partnerships to find a suitable space.
Perhaps in the short term they can replicate a successful project. A nurse practitioner slated to
join the clinic has been seeing people from the Oromocto-area for almost a year at the NoreenRichard Health Centre in Fredericton.
We must remember it's not only soldiers sacrificing a great a deal for our country - it's their
families as well.

Au lendemain des cérémonies du jour du Souvenir, d'anciens combattants somment Ottawa de joindre le
geste à la parole et d'en faire plus pour les aider. Sinon, ils mèneront une campagne pour défaire les
conservateurs aux prochaines élections.
Ron Clarke, qui a oeuvré 36 ans au sein des Forces armées, ne digère pas la fermeture de neuf bureaux
du ministère des Anciens Combattants. Il est encore temps pour les conservateurs de faire marche
arrière. Mais, s'ils ne le font pas, M. Clarke promet d'aller lui-même dans les circonscriptions visées pour
y mener une campagne ABC -- " Anything but conservatives " (" N'importe qui sauf les conservateurs ") -comme celle menée avec succès par l'ancien premier ministre progressiste-conservateur de Terre-Neuve
Danny Williams en 2008.
" Quand ils vont déclencher l'élection, je vais déclencher les hostilités ", a prévenu M. Clarke mercredi. "
Alors, préparez-vous, M. Fantino ", a-t-il lancé au ministre des Anciens Combattants, Julian Fantino. M.
Clarke estime qu'ils sont des milliers à s'indigner, comme lui, qu'Ottawa ferme leurs bureaux de services
et force ainsi les anciens combattants à voyager des heures en voiture ou à passer des heures au
téléphone pour poser leurs questions au ministère.
Victimes de l'équilibre budgétaire
Tourner le dos aux conservateurs n'est pas si facile pour des vétérans qui, comme M. Clarke, ont " voté
bleu " toute leur vie, a fait valoir à ses côtés Mike Blais, fondateur d'un groupe de défense des anciens
combattants. Mais les vétérans fulminent. Quelques organismes refusent de participer aux séances photo
ou aux annonces du gouvernement tant qu'Ottawa ne bonifiera pas l'aide qu'il leur verse.
" Le ministère ne veut juste pas écouter ", a déploré M. Blais, qui accuse le fédéral d'" équilibrer le budget
sur le dos des anciens combattants ". Un avis partagé par M. Clarke, qui argue que ces bureaux de
services ont été fermés " juste pour graisser leur budget, pour qu'ils puissent commencer à distribuer de
l'argent en prévision de l'élection ".
Néodémocrates et libéraux ont promis de rouvrir les bureaux visés par les compressions conservatrices
s'ils sont élus aux élections de 2015.
L'hiver dernier, le fédéral a mis la clé sous la porte de bureaux dans les Maritimes, en Ontario, dans les
Prairies et en Colombie-Britannique. Quatre des établissements se trouvaient dans des circonscriptions
conservatrices : à Kelowna et à Prince George en Colombie-Britannique, à Saskatoon et à Brandon au
Manitoba.
Le bureau du ministre Fantino n'a pas répondu aux questions du Devoir mercredi.
