Mr. Speaker, in response to that I would have to tell the hon. member I do not know from where he is getting his figures. I am disappointed he would use this kind of rhetoric to suggest that these things are happening when in fact they are not.
I have another point I wish to make which I believe he understands but may have miscued. He says the helicopters are falling out of the sky. That is not true. Those helicopters are safe to fly until the year 2000. He knows as well as I that the Canadian forces will not permit their pilots to fly helicopters that are unsafe. I want to clarify the record on that. He is looking over at me and nodding, with a smile on his face. I know he is playing politics again.
