Mr. Speaker, the defence minister's plan to sole-source Super Hornets is spiralling out of control and taking a nosedive. The former chief of the defence staff, Tom Lawson, is stating that there is no one except the government that believes 18 Super Hornets will be useful for Canada. The defence minister says that Boeing is no longer a trusted partner and that he is looking at many different options.
What options is the defence minister talking about? The Liberals will not buy Super Hornets from Boeing, and their website still says that they will not buy F-35s either.
Are the Liberals going to sole-source our fighter jets from their Communist friends in Beijing?
