Mr. Speaker, the defence minister has said that he would take the lead from the Canadian Armed Forces and experts. Well, military experts could not be more clear: Buy the F-35s.
The minister's chief of the defence staff said it, his commander of the Air Force has said it, his deputy minister has said it and now over a dozen retired Air Force generals have said it. By dragging on this unnecessary review, the Liberals are undermining our national security and our reputation with our allies
When will the defence minister finally listen to the experts and buy all 88 F-35s that our pilots need in order to defend Canada?
