 Daryl Kramp, Member of Parliament Prince Edward Hastings Electoral District Constituency
BANCROFT — Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp is questioning the logic behind the federal government’s decision today to award a $3.2-billion contract to acquire the Sikorsky H-92 helicopter to replace the aging fleet of Sea Kings.
“While I applaud the decision to replace the Sea Kings, this is something that should have been done years ago,” said Kramp.
Even now, with this new agreement, it will be another four years before the Sea Kings are fully replaced — that will be 15 years of using unsafe military transportation.
