THE SPEAKER AND THE NAVY

The Speaker of the Senate has been a long-time supporter of the men and women who serve Canada in the Canadian Navy. Notwithstanding that Senator Kinsella served as a member of the 112 Company, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, an Army reserve unit based in New Brunswick, as a maritimer he has always held special interest in the Navy. Presently he serves as an Honorary Captain (Navy) attached to NAVRES.

The Speaker has visited the Pacific and Atlantic coast Canadian naval installations and has been on board many of the ships of the Canadian fleet, including HMCS Charlottetown on patrol in the Persian Gulf. He has also been on vessels of the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as a corvette of the Croatian Navy in the Adriatic, and has visited the Naval Academy of Mexico.

A strong supporter of the replacement of the Sea King helicopters and outfitting of the vessels of the fleet, Senator Kinsella has spoken often in the Senate on these matters.
