Mr. Speaker, the minister keeps missing the point. We know that the Sea Kings have a good maintenance regime and the ground crews are at the top of their profession, but that is no longer enough.
Take for instance the Iroquois helo detachment commander's report of March 1999 which indicates 35.5% of all missions were cancelled due to aircraft problems.
Will the minister go to the Prime Minister and tell him to make a decision or face tragedy?
