Bombardier still intends to put in a bid if the Liberal government decides it will hold a competition to replace the CP\u002D140 Auroras.
PSPC states that the request “does not commit Canada to purchasing the P-8A Poseidon and the project remains in Options Analysis. The final decision will be based on the capability offered, availability, pricing and benefits to Canadian industry.”
Boeing told Canada that its P-8 Poseidon production line in the U.S. could be shut down by 2025 if additional orders aren’t placed. It made the unsolicited pitch to Anand several months ago for Canada to do an immediate sole-source purchase of P-8s.Article content Anand has faced pushback from some Canadian firms arguing she is more interested in creating American jobs than building up the domestic aerospace and defence industries.
Bombardier president Éric Martel had been trying to raise concerns with the Liberal government for more than two months about the P-8 proposal. “As President and CEO of Bombardier, I want to publicly share my concern that Canada, which is facing an important choice about the airborne surveillance of its vast borders, may be considering awarding a sole-source contract directly to Boeing,” Martel said in December.
