Madam Speaker, I regret that my colleague neglected to mention the role played by the air force, because 3,400 sorties were conducted. The CC-150 tanker aircraft flew 850 sorties, the CP-140 Aurora patrol plane went on 875 missions, the Hercules aircraft conducted 260 sorties, and 60 members of the 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron flew 1,378 sorties. They played an important role. All this was also done to ensure our safety here in Canada.
In Canada, we can count on the intelligence service to ensure Canadians’ safety. I think that people have faith in our system. I am from a riding that was affected, the home of the late Warrant Officer Vincent.
I think that people feel reassured. That is why they elected a new government.
