The federal government says it will spend a record-setting $8 billion on defence-related projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, though planning remains in the early stages.
The long-term investment for upgrades to 5 Wing Goose Bay, the Royal Canadian Air Force base in central Labrador, would be the largest of its kind in the history of the province, the Defence Department announced Wednesday.
“These investments at 5 Wing Goose Bay reflect Labrador’s vital role in defending Canada’s north and strengthening our Arctic sovereignty,” Philip Earle, the MP for Labrador, said in a statement.
