The March 27 statement followed a letter of request for an offer on 16 Poseidons, sent via the U.S. government’s foreign military sales program. That February 2022 request “does not commit Canada to purchasing the P-8A Poseidon and the project remains in options analysis,” the government said. The final decision will be based on capability and pricing as well as benefits to Canadian industry, it added.
“Boeing is saying they have a much better platform. If that’s really the case, I fully encourage Boeing to tell the Canadian government we should go into competition,” Bombardier Defense executive vice-president Jean-Christophe Gallagher told reporters in Ottawa on May 31.Article content The remarks come after Boeing Defense president Ted Colbert told La Presse in an interview on May 30 that the fledgling Bombardier-General Dynamics plane is not in the “same class” as its P-8A Poseidon.
