BBC News - Row over Canada F-35 fighter jet order

BBC News - Row over Canada F-35 fighter jet order

There seems to be a big fuss in Canada because "The contract with US company Lockheed Martin was signed without a competitive bidding process, drawing fire from Canada's opposition party."

The whole idea of the Joint Strike Fighter was to share costs for a common fighter jet design for several nations.

Where else would Canada get a fighter jet for less than the total cost of $16bn, according to "Media reports estimate that maintenance could bring the total cost to Canadian $16bn."
