OTTAWA - Canada’s government is trying to address complaints about its military procurement process that have prompted threats from Washington to block Ottawa from buying Lockheed Martin Corp’s F-35, the Canadian air force’s preferred option for its new fighter jet, a government source said on Tuesday.
The affair could be another problem for Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ahead of an election in October, on top of allegations of interference in a corporate corruption case. Still, dropping the demand would likely infuriate the other firms in the race: Boeing Co, Airbus SE and Saab AB - and could prompt them to scrap their bids.
Procurement Minister Carla Qualtrough, in overall charge of the competition, told reporters on Tuesday that “as we design this process for fighter jet procurement, it has to be open, it has to be transparent, it has to be competitive”.
