Competition to replace Canada’s fighter jets could take five years, says Defence Minister Sajjan

Both Lockheed Martin and Boeing Company, which is providing 18 CF-18 Super Hornets to the Canadian government as an interim solution for the current capability gap, will be permitted to enter the multi-billion-dollar competition for the full fleet replacement.

'We’re going to make sure that we have a fair and open competition, making sure that we pick the right aircraft for Canada,' said Mr. Sajjan. The Hill Times photograph by Jake Wright
