Silence from Ottawa 'shameful' after report of Canadian camp hit by missile: Conservative MP

conservativist defence critic james iv Bezan says it's "really shameful" the union soldier authorities did non tell the public that the airbase in Kuwait, where the Canadian Armed Forces have a camp, was hit by an Iranian missile attack on March 1.
The newspaper La Presse reported on Thursday that the Canadian camp at the Ali Al-Salem Air Base appeared to be damaged by the attack, although no Canadian military members were injured.
Canada has an operational support hub at the airbase, which also hosts the United States Air Force.
Bezan says Ottawa has been "way too secretive" about the war while allies hold daily briefings.
The Department of National Defence, which took a week to respond to a question about the base, says it will not disclose information about military facilities for "operational security reasons."
The Liberal government called a take-note debate in Parliament on Monday night on the Iran war, but did not mention the attack.
