Mr. Speaker, today the Auditor General published another scathing report about the contract for the new F-35 jets for the Canadian Armed Forces.
In her report, she sharply criticized the Liberal government's control throughout the process. She pointed out that the project is now 50% over budget and has reached a cost of $30 billion, not including the required weapons and infrastructure, which will cost at least an additional $5.5 billion.
Finally, she pointed out the critical shortage of pilots to operate the F-35s once they are delivered.
The people of Beauce want to know when this Liberal government will start managing their money responsibly. Maybe the Liberals should start by tabling a spring budget.
