Mr. Speaker, I am always surprised at how the government can give such convoluted responses to such simple questions.
Senator McCain said there has been a 61% increase in development and acquisition costs since the program started. However, the Conservatives are still quoting a 10-year-old price from Lockheed Martin.
Why will they not agree with Senator McCain that this program needs rethinking? Why will they not put this deal out for competitive bids?
