Mr. Speaker, of course one of the elements of such a transparent, non-partisan and fair process is we do not re-open it later.
The fact of the matter is the previous Liberal government was part of an international process to select an aircraft company to develop the fifth generation fighter. That is obviously why this government is proceeding in that way.
The leader of the Liberal Party of course was not a member of the Liberal Party at the time, so he may not remember that.
