Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows, the CF-5s were bought some years ago as the main fighter and were superseded by the CF-18. As he also knows, the CF-5 fleet is being retired as a result of the white paper on defence and policy review. The intent is to sell them to another country, if possible.
Some countries have indicated some interest, but there is one country in particular where we believe there is a good opportunity to sell the CF-5s. The negotiations are continuing and we hope to have positive results in the near future.
