Mr. Speaker, this is a highly complex procurement. It represents the most significant investment in the RCAF in over 30 years. We did not go to sole source based on speculation. We entered into a competitive process based on evidence and facts. It is imperative that we get this right, and that is why we took the time we needed to make the best decisions for Canadians and for our air force. We have ensured from the beginning that the process was done in a responsible way.

Mr. Speaker, let me assure the member opposite again that we have ensured and we will continue to ensure that we are taking the steps needed to select the right fighter at the right price with the right benefits for the Canadian Armed Forces. This is the most significant investment in the RCAF in 30 years. As we continue to move through this process, the details on costing will be further refined. As I have said, we will select the right aircraft at the right price for the RCAF.

Mr. Speaker, like many Canadians, I am proud of our Canadian Armed Forces, and I want them to have the equipment they need to do the tough jobs we ask them to do. That is why I was pleased that our government announced its intention to begin the final negotiations for the purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets. Would the Minister of National Defence please tell the House what this investment means for Canadians?
