Mr. Speaker, the member dealt very briefly with the motion before the House which has to do with the process. We are talking about the alleged barriers within the letter of interest.
The process and the procurement strategy has been approved by the government, which includes the Treasury Board, and it is in compliance with all procurement criteria. Most of the member's speech had to do with the allegation that somehow there was a bias against EH Industries.
In 1993 there was a cancellation of the EH-101. The government made that commitment during the election and followed through for the reasons outlined. The member should also know that we put out for tender replacement of search and rescue helicopters. EH won that contract in a fair, competitive and open process. With regard to the current contract EH Industries did make an appeal to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, and the member should know that the CITT rejected that appeal.
Does the member disagree with the Canadian International Trade Tribunal with regard to the ongoing process? If he does, he should explain to the House why he disagrees with the CITT.
