Mr. Chair, the previous government, which the member was a part of as parliamentary secretary for national defence, had 10 years to replace the fighter fleet, and it should have, but it did not get it done.
This time, not only do we have a policy that states we need more aircraft than the Conservatives wanted, but we have the money to do it. We have started the open and transparent competition. I am very proud of the work. We are meeting those milestones. We are committed to making sure that the RFP gets out as soon as possible.
