Mr. Speaker, in order to avoid political embarrassment, the Prime Minister and the government have diluted the necessary requirements for companies bidding to replace our aging Sea Kings. Oddly enough, these new requirements would favour anyone but Cormorant, whose EH-101 contract the Prime Minister cancelled in 1993.
The government is pursuing a policy of lowest cost at the expense of best value, all to save the Prime Minister's political face. What makes him think this policy is going to fly?
