Mr. Speaker, we are moving to bring forward a procurement strategy with respect to the replacement of the Sea Kings. Meanwhile we have the Sea Kings that have good maintenance standards. We have good mechanics. I am glad the hon. member praised our military personnel because they do keep these aircraft in good condition to fly. And we will only fly them if they are in good condition.
Let us focus on the great things they do on their missions. They serve Canadians. In search and rescue for example hundreds of lives are saved every year with the use of these helicopters and other aircraft.
