Mr. Speaker, yesterday in the House I asked the Minister of Transport whether he could confirm a Sun media report that knives and box cutters were found aboard a Toronto-New York carrier flight the same day terrorists hijacked four planes with the same weapons and crashed three of them into buildings in the United States.
The minister told me to check my facts and that is exactly what I am trying to do. I am seeking the information directly from the person who should know whether or not this happened.
I ask the question again. Could the minister confirm that those weapons were found on planes that left the Canadian airport?
