Mr. Speaker, after years of Liberal mismanagement of the maritime helicopter project, I am pleased that this contract has now been completed and that we can fulfill our government's commitment to begin to retire the Sea Kings in 2015, and deliver a new leading maritime helicopter to the Royal Canadian Air Force, while respecting taxpayer dollars.
Our government is working tirelessly to provide our men and women in uniform with the equipment they need to get the job done. These amendments are a testament to that fact. The CH-148 Cyclone will be a highly capable aircraft, making it a leading maritime helicopter.
