Mr. Speaker, the minister will not fly in those Sea Kings. His policy is, send them off and pray that nothing happens.
In August 2000, the minister said the first Sea King replacements would be available in 2005. Internal documents from public works state that those replacements will not be available until 2007 because of the government's political decision to split the contract.
When precisely will Canada receive new, safe helicopters that we do not have to pray about?
