Mr. Speaker, this is a newsflash: too much spin makes people sick.
First the military blamed the weather for failing to send a search and rescue helicopter to find Burton Winters, only the weather was not bad enough to keep a chopper on the ground. Then it blamed communication protocol, only no one had ever even heard of a callback protocol. What stopped the search and rescue for the 14-year-old boy was broken equipment and misplaced priorities.
When will the government take responsibility and establish a full and independent inquiry into Canada's search and rescue system?
