And we have zero heavy lift transport helicopters.
Many of our allies who have even smaller economies than we do have been developing their rapid response capabilities. Australia has recently begun an attack helicopter acquisition. The Netherlands has been acquiring attack and heavy lift transport helicopters. Some Dutch heavy lift helicopters were purchased from Canada after the previous Mulroney government decided to sell off Canada's Chinook helicopters.
Why is acquiring this type of capability not a priority for the minister's government when they are constantly calling on the UN to improve its rapid reaction capability?
