Not seeing any indication of notability in a WP:BEFORE search - the few hits are news pieces where he was quoted, not pieces about him. Retired as a Lt. Col., so he fails WP:NSOLDIER #2, and there are no sources indicating he meets any of the other criteria. I believe there's general precedent that MBE doesn't grant notability in and of itself. The Operational Service Medal is the lowest of the Canadian military awards, so that also doesn't contribute. Overall, although he's certainly a professionally accomplished man, there's just nothing here to say that he's encyclopedically notable. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 13:11, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:NSOLDIER based on rank, award, or participating in a major battle. There's not coverage of him to meet WP:NPERSON and the general consensus has been that MBE alone is not sufficiently distinguished by itself to pass WP:ANYBIO unless it's accompanied by in-depth coverage (see here and User:Necrothesp/Notability criteria for recipients of honours as well). The majority of coverage of Sauvé is in listings of award recipients, not in-depth by any measure. There may be some articles in French that aren't available in English, but it seems unlikely.
