Madam Chair, I could not agree more. These planes should have been replaced a long time ago. We now have the RFP for the requirements for future fighter competition, which will go ahead shortly.
We are committed to ensuring we get the aircraft that meets our requirements. We also have a number of initiatives to recruit pilots and mechanics as well. As I stated, this should have been done over 10 years ago by the previous government, but it was not. We are going to get it done.
