Mr. Speaker, in 1993, when the government cancelled the helicopter contract previously negotiated by the Tory government, there was a cost of almost half a billion dollars.
Now we understand with a process that will involve splitting the contract, as we have just discovered, there will be a cost of another $400 million on top of the almost half a billion that has already taken place and there will be increased risk to military personnel.
Will the Prime Minister please tell us: With higher cost and higher risk, how does that add up to the best deal?
