Mr. Speaker, that was not the question.
The price of the fighter planes keeps going up, but the Conservatives still want to give Lockheed Martin a blank cheque.
Other partners in the project are starting to back away. Norway is hesitating, and the Netherlands, too. British Conservatives are not sure, and even the United States will be buying fewer planes.
Why are all of these governments protecting their taxpayers while the Conservatives are forcing Canadians to pay for an untendered contract with borrowed money?
