Evaluation of Options

The evaluation of options will review and assess all available fighter aircraft. This work will include an assessment of the current and future threats facing Canada. Each option will be evaluated against the roles and missions of the Canada First Defence Strategy. The work will result in the best available information on the capabilities, costs and risks of each option, including bridging and fleet options.

The government will not make a decision until the Seven-Point Plan, including a thorough evaluation of options, is complete.
