Mr. Chairman, I did not raise the word pride but I am proud of the fact that we are able to keep aircraft, whether it is the Sea Kings or any of our other aircraft, in good operating condition. That is because we have the right people to be able to do that. If they get the right training and equipment they will be able to do their jobs. We have some very good crews that help keep our aircraft serving useful purposes and doing so in a safe fashion.
What we are also getting in the maritime helicopter program to replace the Sea Kings is something that is more relevant to our needs today and in the future than what would have been the case if we had bought the previous purchase that the Conservative government wanted to do. Not only would that not be as appropriate for today but it would cost us a lot more money. We will save a billion dollars. We will save the taxpayers a substantial amount of money and get something that is more relevant to our current and future needs.
