Mr. Speaker, as we have said before, it is the same line over and over, “Again I repeat”.
Italy is the latest country to come up with a plan B for its F-35s. It is reducing its order by 40 planes. Meanwhile, the guys selling us the plane confirmed the obvious: the price is going up.
At last, our defence minister is no longer prepared to say that Canada will get 65 planes on time and on budget.
Will the minister give Canadians a straight answer today? Is the government ordering the same number of planes, yes or no?
