Mr. Speaker, I do not know what the member for Beauséjour has against the truth or his previously held position.
His previously held position, as a Liberal parliamentary secretary to defence, was to support this procurement back in 1997.
We are going to proceed with the best aircraft at the best price, which is the best for the Canadian Forces and the best for the Canadian aerospace industry. This is a fifth generation aircraft that will replace an aircraft now approaching 40 years old.
Canadians need to know that the government is behind their Canadian Forces. The member should get back on board with his previous position.
