The Liberal government could leave after only 90 days' notice, although it would still need to pay the remaining fees the Conservatives committed to the F-35 program

Linked National Post on purpose. Given their bias I believe they’d present the worst case scenario.

E: Apparently the article is from 2016 so the cost is likely higher today.

    Yes! GCAP. Still need a stopgap. Maybe stick with F-35, but reduce our commitment. Personally I like Gripen, but I’d differ to experts.

    There is also FCAS, but it seems less urgent, not scheduled to begin delivering until 2040, although maybe France and Germany will get the lead out due to recent changes.
