Canadian AG report states DND misled Parliament over the F-35

The Canadian government voyage of discovery with the F-35 program is getting more dramatic.

Next month, their Auditor-General’s office will report that the DND misled Parliament over the F-35.

Lockheed Martin talking points and gross over optimism are not suitable analysis products.

Also of interest, the government has repeatedly stated that the acquisition ceiling for a CF-18 replacement is 9-billion dollars.

Poor procurement research an analysis is nothing new for the DND. They have dropped the ball with the submarine debacle and the Chinook purchase. The C-130 purchase was not pretty either.

Parliament--who should have been more on the ball--now have a solid trend of DNDs lack of ability to research and produce procurement plans for weapons systems.

What is Parliament going to do to correct these negative trends by the DND?

Still no time left for Canada
