Mr. Speaker, I would ask the member for Beauséjour to open his ears to the words from members of his own party.
Senator Colin Kenny said that he was delighted we are going ahead with the joint strike fighter. He said:
We can't afford to lose ground in the aerospace industry, and our involvement in this contract will create new jobs and opportunities
Senator Dallaire said the F-35 stealth jet is an “excellent” plane and Canada should be buying more of them.
This is coming from the member who was involved in the cancellation of the Sea King replacement program and bought used submarines from the U.K. Whether it is helicopters that will not go up or subs that will not go down, the Liberal Party cannot fly and cannot float on military procurement.
