Mr. Speaker, that argument has been used before. We are replacing Canadian made jets with Canadian made jets, so that is nonsense. The other problem we see is the sole source contracting. There are rules that should be followed.
First, there should be an emergency. Second, the product should be less than $25,000. Third, and this is interesting, there should be top national security concerns. In my view the luxury of the cabinet is not a top national security concern.
Why did the Deputy Prime Minister not just say no to breaking the all the rules on sole source contracting?
