Mr. Speaker, on pages 46 and 47, the 1994 defence white paper states:
The Sea Kings are rapidly approaching the end of their operational life. Work will, therefore, begin immediately to identify options and plans to put into service new affordable replacement helicopters by the end of the decade.
With only weeks left in the decade, does the Prime Minister have a secret hangar somewhere in Canada containing replacement helicopters? If not, will the Prime Minister finally give the House a firm date as to when he will initiate the maritime helicopter replacement program?
