Mr. Speaker, our military has been in desperate need of new helicopters for over two decades and yesterday's accident on the HMCS Iroquois demonstrates how starving our military of resources has put Canadian's lives at risk.
At the same time a Sea King helicopter was crash landing on the deck of the Iroquois , we saw a smiling Prime Minister disembarking from his brand new Challenger.
When the government hides the $100 million price tag for two luxury Challengers from the public, where is the transparency? Where are this government's priorities?
The Liberals' legacy of waste and mismanagement results in a blatant disregard for the money and safety of others. The HRDC fiasco, Shawinigate, corrupt ad contracts, a billion dollars on a failed long gun registry, a ballooning bureaucracy and our international reputation is in decline.
Choose your Prime Minister carefully.
When we pick a Prime Minister we often pick our priorities. Life-saving helicopters or luxury jets, which would we choose?
