Canada is “interested” in potentially procuring the Gripen fighter jet from Sweden’s Saab, Industry Minister Melanie Joly said Tuesday, adding that Canada “didn’t get enough” out of the F-35 fighter jet deals from American firm Lockheed Martin.

“I don’t believe that we’ve had enough jobs created and industrial benefits done out of the F-35 contract. I think it’s not enough. I think Canadians expect more and we should get more,” she said.

“When it comes to the Gripen, of course we’re really interested in seeing what can be done,” she said, adding that Swedish defence giant Saab has offered Ottawa 10,000 new Canadian manufacturing jobs.
