Mr. Speaker, four countries taking part in the F-35 program have already cancelled their purchases or are buying fewer planes.
The United States is making every effort to control costs. The Pentagon believes that costs have spiralled out of control. The Tories in Britain are downsizing their order by several aircraft.
Those are the two countries most involved in the program, and this Conservative government is completely ignoring them.
Why are those countries protecting their taxpayers, while the Conservatives here do nothing for Canadian taxpayers?
