Liberal principles and consistency

National defence critic Denis Coderre says the Canadian Air Force does not need C-17 strategic airlifters. But, since the government is buying them anyway, Quebec should get its fair share of industrial offsets--a "big issue" in the next election (his English makes M. Dion seem Shakespearean).

M. Coderre has earlier said that a Liberal government would cancel the C-17 contract. Where's the pork then? What is the issue?

Such a person as national defence critic for the Official Opposition means the Liberals are not a serious party.
