Mr. Speaker, on January 13 the Minister of Transport confirmed that an aid proposal had been submitted to Bombardier for construction of its C series aircraft. Yet Bombardier CEO Laurent Beaudoin contradicted the minister by stating that he had no idea how the federal government was planning to help. New Mexico has indicated its readiness to welcome Bombardier, while the federal government is dragging its feet and refusing to disclose its intentions.
Does the Minister of Industry intend to present a concrete offer to Bombardier, or does he not?
