David McGuinty Liberal
“I care about this aircraft fleet too. But the other member should not want pilots to fly planes that are unsafe and have mechanical problems. He needs to explain that.”
“Mr. Speaker, I share the member’s concerns about the future of the fleet. It is an iconic part of Canadian culture. He and I would agree. However, here is the difference. This member surely cannot be suggesting that he is going to put the pilots, the women and men of that fleet, in harm’s way. Have him stand up and make it plain that he intends to have pilots flying planes that should not be flown, which are under mechanical watch today. Have him explain that.”
