Mr. Speaker, the government's half-answers are not enough. The acquisition of a new fleet of search and rescue planes has been a fiasco under both the Liberals and the Conservatives. All of these delays have driven up costs and forced search and rescue teams to work with aging and failing equipment.
It does not make sense to ignore the six years of research done by the Department of National Defence. We want clear answers.
When will we finally get a new fleet of search and rescue planes?
