Madam Speaker, the cancellation costs for the EH-101 will be borne in the overall budget rather than in the general budget revenues, thankfully not out of the defence revenues. The President of the Treasury Board perhaps could address that when he tables the estimates and it will be very clear.
The other question was what would we do to replace the EH-101s. If the defence review believes that we should have this capability, and I assume it will because we need a search and rescue craft, the old Sea Kings will be okay until the end of the century, but they will have to be replaced.
Obviously their replacement will have to come out of this drastically reduced budget. Not only did we cut $7 billion yesterday, added to the $14 billion the Conservatives had cut, but out of that we have to fund ongoing operations and also new equipment purchases such as a potential replacement, probably off the shelf, for the Sea King helicopters some years in the future.
