Conservatives announce $9-billion purchase of military fighter jets



OTTAWA — Defence Minister Peter MacKay announced Friday morning a $9-billion plan to buy military fighter aircraft, a deal that will constitute the largest military purchase in Canadian history.

The new fighter aircraft would replace the current fleet of CF-18s, beginning in 2016. Those fighters were recently upgraded at a reported cost of $2.6-billion.

“I’m convinced the F-35 (fighter jet) is good for Canada, good for Canadians, good for the Forces and good for Canadian industry,” Mr. MacKay said during a late-morning news conference at hangar at the Ottawa airport.

But the acquisition of an expected 65 new F-35 joint strike fighters from U.S. firm Lockheed Martin Corp., has already drawn the ire from federal Liberals.
