However it seems to me that basing the new unit at Trenton or Winnipeg--where the types of aircraft most likely to be deployed on overseas expeditions (transports) are stationed--would make a lot more practical sense than Bagotville, where only CF-18s are now stationed. And the last time they were deployed overseas was to Aviano, Italy, in 1998/99 in response to the Kosovo crisis.
Maybe some of the new Chinooks will be based at Bagotville.

You are using military logic not political logic. he's looking for votes in Quebec not trenton or winnipeg.
