Mr. Speaker, this weekend we witnessed a fantastic rescue operation by our Cormorant search and rescue helicopters. They deserve a hand but the government certainly does not.
We need that same capability and more in any replacement of our Sea Kings.
For 10 years now the government has dithered, thinking about the lowest price being the law. We cannot afford to barter away the safety of our troops.
Why does the government insist on ordering and procuring Sea King replacements based on bottom bid over best value?
