People need to give up this idea that Canada can enter into the military jet market these aren't armored vehicles that we're talking about it.

On top of that I wouldn't trust Bombardier to build bikes on time and on budget let alone a multi role fighter.
I think Bombardier's history of building/providing kit to the military speaks for itself.
