Mr. Speaker, it would appear that the Conservatives are as transparent as their ministers are competent.
It seems to me that the Minister of National Defence knows as little about the CF-18 replacement as the Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women. In an interview with CTV this weekend, the defence minister, like his colleague, was unable to identify a single fighter jet, other than the F-35, that could be used to replace the CF-18s.
Let us try this again: what fighter jets, other than the F-35, are being considered to replace the CF-18s?
