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, this is somewhat humorous. Unlike the Conservatives who cut billions from defence, we are providing our CAF members with the equipment they need to keep Canadians safe. We are moving to finalize the 88 new fighter jets. We are delivering the first Canadian-built ship in 20 years. We are acquiring six Arctic offshore patrol vessels, two of which are in the water and one of which has circumnavigated the North American continent. We are delivering rifles for our rangers. When it comes to procurement, I would take our record over theirs any day.
