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, if we were to share, in the midst of a negotiation, what the purchase price was, that would not be in the best interests of Canadians.

Madam Chair, the minister knows that, as a member of the consortium, Canada gets the F-35 at the same price as the United States in the year of purchase. Can she confirm that is correct?

Madam Chair, as I just stated, that is already set as part of the consortium agreement. Does the minister actually suggest that somehow Canada is going to be able to have a different process than the others in the consortium when it comes to price?

Mr. Chair, we are still in negotiations so a final price has not been determined, but that will be determined in the negotiation process. I trust the hon. member understands that we cannot release that information now because negotiations have not concluded. This is the finalization phase.
