Mr. Speaker, we will not fly flawed aircraft. We will fly only aircraft that is certified as being safe to be used.
We have a very extensive inspection program, maintenance program and overhaul program to ensure we are putting aircraft in the air that are safe.
We have grounded the 12 Labradors but they can be used in the case of life threatening conditions. There are Hercules, Griffons and other aircraft used in search and rescue missions. We will continue to provide Canadians with that service.
