Mr. Speaker, not all of our armoured personnel think that it is wise to get rid of the tank.
While the minister plows ahead with the Stryker, the Sea Kings sit grounded again. To add insult to injury, our Canadian forces had to endure the Prime Minister telling them that, since the President of the United States flew in one, they were good enough for our air crews. That is like saying a 1960 Volkwagen Beetle is the same as the one that sits on the lot today.
Why are older Challengers not good enough for this government, but 40 year old Sea Kings are? Could it be because of who flies in them?
