Mr. Speaker, the F-35 program is good for our aerospace industry and helps provide our troops with the best equipment, so they can do their work properly.
The Liberals' plan to cancel this important program would kill thousands of jobs, mainly in Quebec's aerospace sector.
Yesterday, the Aerospace Industry Association of Canada issued a press release calling on hon. members to vote against the Liberal motion to cancel the F-35 purchase program.
We are working to protect Canadian jobs and job creation.
By jeopardizing the F-35 program, the Liberals are jeopardizing the stability of the Canadian aerospace industry and putting related jobs and investments at risk.
Our government continues to support our men and women in uniform.
The Liberals should promote jobs and support our troops instead of playing petty politics.
