Mr. Speaker, we know that the Sea King is now at a critical point and Talon 441 is proof. I am certain the minister can see that incident summary in his sleep. To quote from the Friends of Maritime Aviation's statement, “We now believe the elastic band has been stretched as far as it can go”.
Will the minister go to the Prime Minister this afternoon and ask him to initiate the maritime helicopter program before we have a tragedy? Yes or no?
