Opposition MPs to examine aircraft selection process
« on: January 04, 2007, 10:39:12 AM »
Opposition parties will start probing $14-billion in "de facto sole-sourced" military contracts next month, arguing the interests of taxpayers are at risk as the Canadian Forces acquire new planes and helicopters with minimal competitions.
