Madam Speaker, the member talked about a pregnant lady going to the airport with her kids. I came across an experience in Montreal where four ladies came to the gate and just missed their plane. One was a diabetic and she was in tears. She was begging to be let on the plane. She could see it. The reason she could not get on the plane is she spent three-and-a-half to four hours going through security. What can we do to alleviate some of those concerns?

Madam Chair, as I have said, we are going to get the best price for this plane because of the competitive process, and we are in negotiation now.

Madam Chair, one of the advantages with this process is that we are getting the latest and greatest plane. We are delighted that, in this procurement and in this investment that we are making, we will be getting the latest and greatest F-35.

Mr. Chair, this is a rigorous procurement process. It is why we undertook the process. It was competitive. We wanted to ensure we got the best plane for the best price with the greatest economic benefits for Canadians.

Mr. Chair, even though negotiations have not concluded, the government has this $19‑billion estimate. Does that estimate match what the other country is paying for the same plane?
