Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
The cost of the Swissair 111 investigation has now reached $62 million and is rising. The costs are totally absorbed by the coast guard, the RCMP and the military. As a result, the operations for the RCMP, the military and the coast guard are being reduced. Also they have been denied new equipment because of this, they are told. It has not affected the construction of the Prime Minister's private driveway.
Is the government asking the manufacturers of the aircraft, the airline and the other governments involved to help cover these costs?
