Mr. Speaker, the Australian F-18s will be a burden on the Royal Canadian Air Force and taxpayers.
The capability gap is nothing more than a political invention to distract Canadians from more pressing issues. The Canadian Armed Forces does not have enough pilots or technicians. It is impossible for our current fleet to be fully operational. Our pilots cannot get the flying hours they need. Our fighter jet fleet needs to be renewed.
When will the government cancel the purchase of the Australian F-18s?
