Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister of defence.
In 1994, a Sea King flying over my city of Saint John tragically crashed and killed two crew members.
The families of the military have been in touch with me since 1994 looking for new helicopters. The aging Sea Kings were grounded last week for repairs. They are supposed to be fixed up for the next four or five years.
My question to the minister is for the safety of our military and for the comfort of their families, when will this government stop playing political games and announce new helicopters?
