Mr. Speaker, I want to make sure because the hon. member and members of his party have been very careful and responsible in dealing with a number of issues that relate to the military elements we have to deal with at this time.
I want to make sure I understand what the hon. member is saying. Is he saying that he wishes to begin again the process of trying to determine how we can strike a deal with our allies from western Europe who require training facilities in Canada? Does he want us to start from scratch when we are into a tough competition with other parts of the world to get the very same contract?
My information is that people in western Canada hope we can conclude this deal. Our allies hope we can conclude this deal. What is good for western Canada is very good for the military forces of this country. It is also very good for Bombardier which not only operates in Quebec, as the hon. member seems to think, but also in many other parts of the country with which he may not be familiar.
