Madam Speaker, the Minister of National Defence would have us believe that the Royal Canadian Air Force does not have the resources to fulfill both its NATO and its NORAD commitments.
As it turns out, in 2017 six CF-18s were sent to Iceland for two months for a NATO mission. They were then sent to Romania for even longer.
If there really is a capability gap, how can Canada spare six jets for such a long time? Was the Minister of National Defence the architect of the capability gap?
