Mr. Chairman, the point is still the same. As early as 1981 the Sea King helicopters were slated for replacement and a process was put in place to do that. It has now been 21 years and over $1 billion has been spent. The government still has not managed to figure out how to do it and what it will do and in what order.
How can the minister sit here and say after all the politics that were played over the EH-101 versus Sea King debate, which was not really a debate but a slapfest that happened, that the Sea King procurement process, which has taken 21 years and over $1 billion, is something about which he can feel pride?
