Mr. Speaker, the F-35 file clearly shows that the Prime Minister is not serious about Canada's defence and our commitments abroad.
In 2015, when he promised not to buy F-35s, he was putting his political ambitions and those of the Liberal Party ahead of the aspirations of the Canadian Armed Forces. When he wasted $360 million on Australia's old, rusted-out F-18s, it was to buy time. Even the experts say that the Liberals act based on ideology when it comes to military procurement.
Can the Prime Minister cut short all the talking and immediately settle the issue of the F-35s?
