Just read the link from earlier in this thread. Ignatieff is in favour of having a competitive bidding process for new fighters, not cancelling the order completely.

Who else can competitively bid?? Boeing and Lockheed were the only competent bidders and they already both had their kick at the cat. He's vowing to cancel the F35 and go back to the drawing board. Are we supposed to follow the fine Liberal tradition of twiddling our thumbs for years while the cost to replace climbs exponentially?
