Replying to Burton Bailey (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, first of all, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for his service. Two days ago, to much fanfare at CANSEC, the Prime Minister announced a deal to purchase military aircraft from Saab, which I believe is an affiliate company of Brookfield. Have they actually signed a deal, or is it another Liberal illusion?”
