Mr. Chair, we are committed to having an open and transparent competition to replace all the jets. We based it on the requirements of our Canadian Armed Forces.
I also know that the Leader of the Opposition made a statement in Montreal regarding an open and transparent competition as well. Does the member disagree with his own leader?
At the same time, what is the Conservatives' plan to cost their program? The reason I ask is that even when they wanted 65 aircraft, they only left enough money for 29.
