Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. It was the previous Liberal government that in 2002 participated in an international competition to select the next jet fighter. It spent $150 million-plus on that competition.
We chose that jet because we will need to replace the jets at the end of this decade and not ground our air force.
On this side of the House, when it comes to the aerospace industry of the country and the men and women in uniform, we do not play politics with these decisions.
