Mario Laframboise at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

First of all, I want to quickly address the subject of wrecks. No doubt you have read some articles about an airplane that crashed in Lac Simon. The story received extensive media coverage. Apparently, a float plane crashed 50 years ago and the wreck containing the skeletal remains of three people was discovered last fall. I seem to recall reading that Transport Canada would not be taking on the job of salvaging the wreck. Why is that?
