Mr. Speaker, Bombardier is questioning the approach taken by DND and Public Works, with their last minute changes to the requirements set out in the call for tenders for the contract to train Canadian Forces pilots.
Because of this rather questionable move, Bombardier faces losing a contract it has held for 12 years. Could the government explain what motivated this eleventh hour change, unbeknownst to Bombardier, to the requirements set out in the call for tenders?
