Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan has announced that Collège Militaire Royal de Saint-Jean will be regaining its status as a university-level institution, and deems this action to be a “reflection of Canada and our bilingual heritage.” According to CBC, RMC-Saint-Jean was established in 1952, closed by the Liberal government in 1995, and reopened as a part of Quebec’s CEGEP network in 2008 by the Conservative government. Minister Sajjan stated that the involved parties are currently working on a schedule for the transition. He was not yet able to provide a budget, but assured the public that the “cost will be modest.”
