Mr. Chair, will the minister at least admit that the whole reason they came up with this so-called interim capability gap was that they fabricated it because the Prime Minister made a campaign promise in 2015 that he would not buy the F-35, and that the government has done everything in its power since that day to make sure the F-35 was not going to be competitive in what they call an open competition? It may be open, but my question is why it is not being fair.
