Mr. Speaker, it has everything to do with search and rescue helicopters, machines the military can use so that it can do its job.
We all know why the cabinet is in turmoil over this issue. It spent four years. It spent half a billion dollars and risked the lives of troops and of Canadians. Military experts long ago informed them which helicopter is the best. They are just trying to save political face.
Would the prime minister set aside his petty political concerns, do what is right for public safety and announce a helicopter deal today?
