Prime minister to make an announcement at Halifax Armoury with defence minister
- Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be in Halifax on Monday to make an announcement concerning the Defence Department.
The Prime Minister's Office confirms Harper will be at the Halifax Armoury at 1 p.m., but there were no further details about what he might have to say.
A spokesman says that there will be regular Canadian Forces personnel attending, as well as members of the Princess Louise Fusiliers, a reserve infantry regiment that has sent some of its members to Afghanistan.
Harper will be accompanied by Defence Minister Peter MacKay, Nova Scotia's representative in the federal cabinet.
MacKay is also the minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
The prime minister last visited Halifax in November, when he attended an aboriginal conference.
