Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary.
I might also have talked about the RAM radar tracking system. Will it be very effective when it is given over to Nav Canada? The RAM system was not effective, and I have an example for you. Twice last year, they lost the government's air ambulance, which was on a mercy flight in the North. They lost it on the radar screen.
I could also give the example of the Bernières radar system in suburban Quebec City, which was tracking a plane. At one point, the screen indicated that the plane had made a sharp 180 degree turn. What happened? The RAM system had stopped following the plane it was tracking and had picked up a flock of geese flying 10,000 feet below and in the opposite direction.
Imagine how safe it is in tracking a plane.
In closing, I have one final point to make about French in the air. I am very concerned that, as a cost cutting measure, they will say all pilots are bilingual and able to provide service in English, to the detriment of French.
