Mr. Speaker, part of the saga of the helicopters ended this past January 5, when the Minister of National Defence had the embarrassing task of revealing his government's choice to us: the Cormorant, a perfect clone of the Conservatives' EH-101.
Does the prime minister not acknowledge that it would be advantageous, for the next helicopter contract for replacements to the Sea Kings, for a House committee to be mandated to hold public hearings in order to ensure that the process is clear and transparent?
