Minister MacKay delivers keynote address at Canadian Club and announces the Restoration of historic identities of Canadian Army Corps, here: http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/news-no...ng.asp?id=4731

besides The Corps of Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, the following designations were restored:

Royal Canadian Armoured Corps
The Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers
Royal Canadian Corps of Signals
Royal Canadian Infantry Corps

The coming back of The Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers designation, I actually heard about last November at a Mess Dinner.
