Mr. Speaker, I will try to stay within the limits.
My question is simple. Where was my colleague from Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel during the last 13 years, when we saw the Liberal government abandon the Canadian Forces, particularly the air force? Today, our air force finds itself faced with urgent needs. Where was he when the Canadian aerospace industry needed advocates, whereas now, $3.7 billion worth of projects will generate almost $1.9 billion in spinoffs in Canada, including hundreds of millions of dollars in Quebec with contracts awarded to Pratt & Whitney?
