Mr. Speaker, the same day the government announces its intention to call for bids on 15 new search and rescue helicopters, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services announces the conclusion of an agreement with Agusta to break the contract for the EH-101s.
My question is for the Minister of Public Works and Government Services. Are we to understand from the announcement of this agreement with Agusta that the government has given up trying to investigate the circumstances surrounding the awarding of the contract for the EH-101s, which is what the present Minister of Human Resources Development was calling for when he was in opposition?
