Mr. Speaker, we are moving as quickly as we can. It is our number one procurement priority. Before this year is out, we will know what the helicopter will be that will replace the Sea King.
Let me say that our Sea Kings are operating. There are in the Afghanistan campaign. They are doing yeoman service. In fact, in the case of the HMCS Vancouver , its particular Sea King helicopter has had 100% availability rate. Over 500 hours have been flown by the Sea Kings in this mission, and they are doing a terrific job with their crews.
