“The defence minister said the Snowbirds were cancelled because the planes are unsafe. But his own department says the planes can fly until 2030. I want him to explain why he said something different from his department.”
“Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the defence minister was covering for cancelling the Snowbirds by telling Canadians the planes were unsafe, but according to CBC reporting, his own defence department says the Snowbirds can continue flying the jets until at least 2030. Who are Canadians to believe, the minister or his own department? Does the minister not have confidence in his own department, or did he mislead this House yesterday?”
