Have to wonder if the decision has already been made but its not publicly going to be announced in order to not influence our decision and Carney's upcoming tour of Hanwa on the 21st of this month.
I mean, Poland could have encountered something to hold off from its decision or their PM...
It could also be the case that both SK and Germany are looking at the Polish contract for 3, maybe 4 subs vs Canada's 12 subs and are dragging their heels in getting Poland to sign as they both know that whoever signs Poland before Canada most likely loses the contract with Canada.....
Its the Government and CAF's responsibility to explain why there is a need for the first in order to ensure that the second has even the ability to actually occur.
Interesting piece of news.
At first glance I don't have an issue with this. I mean, come out with a budget first week of November and then turn around and come out with another at the beginning of April, crazy!

I believe that the Spanish, Italians and Germans (and Turkey as well?), are all on the hook for the 4th tranche of the Eurofighter. All of them have mixed fleets and look to continue to have mixed fleets well into the future. I believe that the RAF will continue to have a mixed fleet as well...
Yes, all of those under the old way of doing business.
The new approach has yet to spend a dime. The first out of the gate very well might be the subs in the next 8-10 weeks. Depending on how successful the future timelines, potential cost overruns and usability of whatever sub we choose...
At this moment in time, has there been any money spent on something that we actually don’t need?
Is there any indication that money is about to be spent on something that we actually don’t need?

We are legally on the hook for the 16 I believe and they are coming in the next few months.
I guess anything is possible and we eat the cost for those 16 but I don’t see that happening
