"WHEREAS Canadian Forces Base "5 Wing" Goose Bay has long been and remains one of Canada's strategically important military bases, as well as a key military training site for countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO);
AND WHEREAS the future of "5 Wing" has been clouded in uncertainty in recent months, to the detriment of the people and economy of Happy Valley-Goose Bay;
AND WHEREAS the Government of Canada, with the support of the Canadian public, is strengthening its investment in national defence, particularly in light of concerns about global terrorism and Canada's ongoing military operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere;
AND WHEREAS the Government of Canada is advancing large strategic investments in military flight training at "3 Wing" Bagotville (Québec) and "4 Wing" Cold Lake (Alberta);
AND WHEREAS the Minister of National Defence has announced significant financial support for current training partners over the next two flying seasons and is engaged in developing and implementing marketing, training and cost allocation initiatives;
AND WHEREAS the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is committed to ensuring the future viability of foreign military training at "5 Wing" and has been working cooperatively with the Goose Bay Citizens Coalition (GBCC) and the Government of Canada to achieve this objective;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Honourable House call upon the Government of Canada to expeditiously develop and implement a new strategic plan for "5 Wing" Goose Bay that includes substantial new investments in the base in order to make optimal use of the infrastructure, expertise, geography, climate and other tremendous advantages of "5 Wing" while boosting the local economy and making Canada stronger."
