Mr. Speaker, I should be allowed to speak. I would expect some respect from the member opposite because I let him speak and ask his question. I would like to answer it now.
I am asking about priorities. I am asking clear questions. I am not asking questions that the member, with all of his wonderful knowledge, should not be able to answer. However, I am not getting the answer. I am getting rhetoric. I am getting nonsense. I am getting personal repudiation of myself and what I do or do not know from the member. Why would he not answer the basic questions I asked? Do we need this plane? Do we need it now? Would it satisfy our needs? I am still to hear about Russians flying across our airspace to harm us, and as most of us know, we were told by NORAD that these are routine flights and they are little propeller planes.
