Mr. Speaker, for those listening, this is really interesting. When I laid out five arguments, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence added information to my preamble. He just said that there is a lifelong gag order and that honorary colonels are silenced. The aircraft file is a real shambles.
In closing, I would like the parliamentary secretary to answer. This morning the Minister of National Defence said that Boeing was not a trusted partner.
Now that we have all the information, can the parliamentary secretary confirm that the Liberal government will discard this stupid plan to replace aircraft with a fleet of 18 Super Hornets that are completely useless, and will he immediately initiate a procurement process to equip the Canadian forces with the best aircraft for the next 40 years?
