Mr. Speaker, the preamble to the question is not entirely right. The member is exaggerating substantially many of the situations.
I clearly indicated we intend to provide the kind of equipment our Canadian forces need and to do it as quickly as we can. We will make sure that we keep our Sea Kings safe to fly.
I note that what is considered to be the most up to date armed forces in the world, those in the United States, also fly Sea Kings of the same vintage as we do.
