Mr. Speaker, our participation in the joint strike fighter program over the past few years has injected more than $1 billion into the Canadian economy and created and maintained thousands of jobs across the country.
Yesterday the Premier of Manitoba, Mr. Pallister, expressed his concerns about the plan to purchase the Super Hornet, and with good reason, since those aircraft will be built almost entirely in the U.S.
Is that what leadership means to this government, creating jobs outside the country?
Can the Minister of Public Services say otherwise? Has she forgotten her mandate?
