Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
The minister is right when he says that the NDP joined with the Liberals in 1993 in opposing the EH-101 helicopter contract. What we did not know was that seven years later we would still be talking about what helicopters the Canadian Armed Forces will be getting.
Is the minister not just a tad embarrassed that seven years after opposing that contract the Canadian Armed Forces is still waiting for the Liberals to make up their minds on what kind of helicopters it will get?
