Forty years later, the son of that prime minister, this week, says he is modernizing the Canadian Armed Forces with what? The F-18.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188822\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Not only are these F-18s used, they have been used in more operational theatres and flying over low-level oceans more than Canada. Therefore, Australia has used its jets harder than we have. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188823\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is a Liberal pattern. We saw this with used submarines where billions were spent, and there is virtually no operational capability of the Victoria-class submarine. We saw this on my aircraft, the Sea King helicopter, which we are only replacing now because of politics.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188824\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am hoping for Christmas that the veterans in the Liberal caucus will start standing up to the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> because at Christmas nothing says merry Christmas to the troops more than used kit.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5188821\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y a 40 ans, le premier ministre Pierre Trudeau a lanc\u00e9 un projet de modernisation afin d'acqu\u00e9rir un nouvel avion de chasse, le F-18, pour les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes. Quarante ans se sont \u00e9coul\u00e9s depuis et, cette semaine, le fils de ce premier ministre a affirm\u00e9 qu'il modernise les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes avec des avions de chasse. Lesquels? Les F-18.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188822\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non seulement ce sont des F-18 d'occasion, mais ces appareils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9s dans plus de th\u00e9\u00e2tres d'op\u00e9rations et ont survol\u00e9 des oc\u00e9ans \u00e0 basse altitude plus souvent que les F-18 du Canada. L'Australie a donc mis ses avions de chasse \u00e0 plus rude \u00e9preuve que nous avons mis les n\u00f4tres. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188823\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s'agit d'une tendance lib\u00e9rale. Nous l'avons constat\u00e9 avec les sous-marins usag\u00e9s. Des milliards de dollars ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pens\u00e9s sur ces appareils, et les sous-marins de la classe Victoria n'ont pratiquement aucune capacit\u00e9 op\u00e9rationnelle. Nous l'avons aussi vu avec mon a\u00e9ronef, l'h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re Sea King, que nous rempla\u00e7ons seulement maintenant pour des raisons politiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188824\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce serait mon voeu pour No\u00ebl que les anciens combattants qui font partie du caucus lib\u00e9ral commencent \u00e0 tenir t\u00eate au <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>, car il n'y a pas de meilleure fa\u00e7on de souhaiter un joyeux No\u00ebl aux troupes que de leur donner du mat\u00e9riel usag\u00e9.</p>"
