Mr. Speaker, Canada has spent over $75 million modernizing our fleet of CF-5 fighters. We are now spending more millions of dollars even though the fleet is grounded and up for sale. The last time we tried to sell fighter planes we ended up giving away 39 of them to Turkey. What assurances can the minister give us that the Canadian taxpayers will not again get a bad deal and be up for another financial loss?
