Mr. Speaker, in the words of one of Canada's top defence journalists, David Pugliese, “It appears to be total confusion on the F-35 front in Ottawa these days”. Yet the Prime Minister still seems poised to blindly push ahead with the expensive and risky single engine F-35.
I have a straightforward question to the Prime Minister. Will other companies be allowed to submit bids on the contract to replace Canada's aging F-18s before any decision is made on the F-35?
