Hummm..Clear and transparent...Ok...Let's go out to tender and ask all the companies out there to make us an F-35 joint strike fighter for cheaper than we are going to pay for it now. This is a mass produced strike plane for a multitude of countries, you seriously think we are getting screwed on price ???Come on now....Please explain to me how we could get the best new striker for cheaper ?

The process was suspect, they're not telling us the price, and the F-35 is not the world's only plane. Recall when we even used to make them ourselves?

Oh heck yeah...We made the FIRST fly by wire intercontinental fighter jet ever, the Avro Arrow! No one could of touched it for years.....Trust me, I know what we Canucks can build. But the simple fact is that the F-35 is a universal platform, mass produced for a multitude of countries and is an affordable alternative to the rest that was offered at the time. We are in the process of training electronic engineers specifically for the F-35 right now.

Perhaps we need the plane...but the Government of Steve is being held in contempt of Parliament for hiding the price to Canadians.
An explosive independent report on the Harper government’s controversial purchase of new fighter jets estimates their full cost, including maintenance, could hit $29.3-billion (U.S.). That’s about $12-billion more than what the Tories have been telling Canadians it would cost. www.theglobeandmail.com...

I've read that the price they're citing is actually less than the US Airforce would pay. Not bloody likely. It's the scam I object to.

The real price amounts to about a thousand dollars per Canadian. They can put mine towards water treatment plants for First Nations communities.
