The federal government would still be looking at a fleet of 72 to 88 U.S.-made F-35s, even if it moves forward with Saab's Gripen, sources tell CBC News. Several sources said Ottawa is exploring a purchase of 72 Gripens, which would create up to 9,000 jobs and would be the largest industrial project in Canada.
