Mr. Speaker, the mismanagement of this file is truly worrisome. On the one hand, the Auditor General claims that the Department of National Defence knew the total cost of the F-35 jets. On the other hand, the Deputy Minister of National Defence is saying that he does not know where the estimated total cost came from.
Could the minister of self-defence help out his deputy minister, or will the minister continue to make excuses for keeping the information from Canadians?
