A debate where the Liberals talked about the government spending $316 million to lease 10 more firefighting planes, with some 'oh oh' heckling. The Liberals emphasized the planes were leased from Canadian companies.
“I will repeat our talking points about spending more money so we look like we are doing something important.”
“We're leasing more wildfire planes. It'll cost us for years. I won't say how much. But it's a Canadian company so it's fine.”
