As long as you're continuing to waffle on the F-35, you are also not making decisions about buying the next generation of fighter trainers. Already the Hawks have been retired, and even though they still had hours left on them, they're sitting in Borden, getting dismantled and used for training our aircraft mechanics and technicians.
We now have to outsource our pilot training: That is now all happening in Italy and the United States. Again, it's an embarrassment for Canada, with our World War II training of our allies and NATO aircraft training, which we did for the last two or three decades, that it has all disappeared because we don't have the equipment anymore.
