Mr. Speaker, in response to a question in the House on the replacement of the Sea King helicopter fleet, the Minister of National Defence said that “The matter is being dealt with at a staff level to make sure that we get the right kind of helicopter with the right kind of equipment”. After 20 years of research, the minister is claiming the forces are dragging their feet.
Will the minister order the Canadian armed forces to produce the statement of requirements this month, yes or no?
