According to the Ottawa Citizen’s David Pugliese, the prime minister’s office directed defence minister Peter MacKay to “find a new role for the Canadian Forces at Goose Bay”.
The PMO sent letters to MacKay in January and again in June.
“As part of this process, you will need to include options and recommendations to establish a clear sovereignty protection mandate for 5 Wing Goose Bay,” Harper told MacKay in his June letter.
