Statement made on 18 November 2009 by Senator Roméo Dallaire
Hon. Roméo Antonius Dallaire:
Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. I would like to return to the question I asked yesterday with respect to the recruitment of Armed Forces personnel. Although results seem to be positive, which is not the case for all trades, an increasing number of academic institutions in our country do not allow military recruiters on their campuses to recruit the best students to serve our nation and to participate, if required, in operations abroad in the name of democracy.
Does the government intend to take direct action to have these institutions change their policies in that regard?
