Mr. Speaker, it is too bad we did not hear from the minister himself. I guess he is being airlifted to safety again.
Colonel Ploughman was pretty clear. Using search and rescue resources to get airlifted from a vacation was not about helping the Canadian Forces.
As for his decision to hop in a basket to get to London for a press conference on a new military contract, I have a few questions.
When exactly was this contract signed, when was the minister told, and when did he decide to travel to London?
