Mr. Speaker, if Air Canada has requested it and the transport minister has the authority to do it, why is he not doing it?
The transport minister has constantly said that he believes in a seamless security regime in this country but he has now created a seam by putting armed RCMP officers only on flights to Washington, D.C.'s downtown airport.
Why is the minister not keeping his commitment to a seamless airport security regime by not putting air marshals on planes?
