"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2299609\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the hon. member is not telling the truth about the price of the airplane. He is taking U.S. costs for U.S. aircraft. He is not talking about our program. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299610\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are not writing a cheque for $16 billion tomorrow. We are spreading the $9 billion cost of the aircraft over seven years, a cost that includes simulators, infrastructure, training, and so on, a lot of which comes back to Canadian industry. Starting in 2015, the sustainment cost of the airplane will be spread over 20 years. We are not writing a cheque for $16 billion tomorrow: this is spread out over a very long period of time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299611\" data-originallang=\"en\">The simple fact is that we have had 10 highly advanced countries look at the same challenge and every single one has come up with the same answer: the F-35. That is not a coincidence. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299612\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have experts here whom we should trust. These are the people with no agenda. Every company has an agenda. That is a given, and somebody will come to us and say they can do whatever. Of course they are going to say that. That is why we hire people with the expertise and the experience to give us the advice and the answer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299613\" data-originallang=\"en\">Back in the CF-18 days, the program I was involved in, we had the same people saying the same kinds of things. At least in those days the Liberals came to their senses and supported the program. I wish the Liberals today had the same common sense.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2299609\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne dit pas la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 au sujet du prix de l'avion. Il parle du co\u00fbt d'un avion aux \u00c9tats-Unis, en dollars am\u00e9ricains. Il ne parle pas de notre programme. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299610\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous ne signerons pas un ch\u00e8que de 16 milliards de dollars demain matin. Nous \u00e9talons les 9 milliards de dollars que co\u00fbtent les avions sur sept ans. En outre, le co\u00fbt comprend les simulateurs, l'infrastructure et la formation, entre autres, lesquels sont en partie confi\u00e9s \u00e0 l'industrie canadienne. D\u00e8s 2015, les co\u00fbts d'entretien de l'avion seront \u00e9tal\u00e9s sur 20 ans. Nous ne signerons pas un ch\u00e8que de 16 milliards de dollars demain matin. Nous \u00e9talons le co\u00fbt sur une tr\u00e8s longue p\u00e9riode.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299611\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le fait est que 10 pays tr\u00e8s d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9s au m\u00eame probl\u00e8me, et que tous ont choisi le m\u00eame avion: le F-35. Ce n'est pas une co\u00efncidence. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299612\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devrions faire confiance aux experts canadiens. Ces gens ne d\u00e9fendent les int\u00e9r\u00eats de personne, contrairement aux soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. C'est un fait. Un repr\u00e9sentant vient nous voir et nous promet monts et merveilles. Bien s\u00fbr, pourquoi dirait-il le contraire? C'est pourquoi nous engageons des experts, des gens qui ont de l'exp\u00e9rience, pour nous donner des conseils et nous faire des recommandations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2299613\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'\u00e9poque du CF-18, le programme auquel j'ai particip\u00e9, les m\u00eames personnes disaient les m\u00eames choses. Au moins, \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque, les lib\u00e9raux ont fini par entendre raison et ont appuy\u00e9 le programme. Si seulement les lib\u00e9raux finissaient par entendre raison aujourd'hui.</p>"
