Mr. Speaker, the comments in the staff report are relevant to safety and reliability and that is not at question here. What is at question is providing for a significantly upgraded aircraft that will be able to go to Europe non-stop, that will be more fuel efficient, that will be able to go on to a greater number of runways.
All of the projects with respect to the military continue on. This will not detract one iota from any of the projects that the Canadian forces need.
