Former deputy minister of National Defence Charles “Buzz” Nixon is calling on the Harper government to abandon its purchase of a new fleet of fighter jets and revise Canada’s entire defence posture.

The federal government is once again being pressed to reconsider its previously announced decision to buy a fleet of F-35 stealth fighter jets. “This time the argument isn’t about cost or procurement problems, it’s about what’s inside the plane.”
