Mr. Speaker, we are looking into this matter. There is a committee and the Auditor General. These planes are made in Canada and the government uses them. Canada is a vast country. Ministers have to move around the country if they want to do their jobs.
Because of the irresponsibility of Reform Party members they do not want to look at the real costs. Even when the plane is in the garage we pay for the pilot, we pay for the plane, for everything. When the plane is flying the only other cost is the fuel, but they say it is costing much more money. That is why we are not using them. We are looking into that. We will make sure this is managed better than it was with the previous administration.
However I hope this group of people will stop spreading lies because it is not costing-
