Mr. Chair, I really encourage the minister to read the correspondence coming from the Pentagon and the joint project office for the Joint Strike Fighter, talk to representatives from Boeing and Lockheed Martin and talk to Ellen Lord, who is the Under Secretary of Defense in the U.S. administration.
If we want to start looking at something, we need to look at what the RFP is. One of the things is that we need to have a two-eyed capability, which is Canada and the United States. Right now, we have a dismal relationship because of the Liberals' mismanagement on the fighter jet file.
How can the minister guarantee two-eyed capability in Canada's next fighter jet when he has ruined our relationship with the Americans as a result of Liberal partisan policies?
