Mr. Speaker, it is truly heartbreaking that, under the Liberals, the Snowbirds are going to be grounded. I remember, as a young kid, our driving to Moose Jaw from our farm in Rush Lake and watching air shows for the Snowbirds. Seeing those planes in the sky was a special moment. In Barrie, 150,000 people got to see that for the last time.
The fact that the Liberals did not have a plan to make sure that the Snowbirds could keep flying and had proper jets to keep flying is a damnation on their record. They had 11 years to make a plan, and they failed. That is why we are not going to have the Snowbirds for the foreseeable future. We would do whatever we could and help them in any way to make sure we could get planes so the Snowbirds could keep flying. It is just really sad for our Canadian identity and our Canadian heritage.
