Liberals expected to launch negotiations to buy F-35 fighter jets: CP sources

The Liberal government is expected to announce today that it will enter into final negotiations on purchasing the F-35 fighter jet.

Government and industry sources have told The Canadian Press the negotiations with manufacturer Lockheed Martin will be announced at a news conference this afternoon.

The sources spoke on the condition they not be named because they were not authorized to comment publicly.

We’ll see. It’s not yet a commitment and they can easily stretch this out a few years more.
