The Canadian government is negotiating with Saab to purchase up to six GlobalEye aircraft for approximately SEK 35 billion. 

Political criticism of the deal is now growing, according to CBC News.

Among other things, the opposition wants to establish whether the correct process was followed when the government decided to proceed with Saab. The criticism follows reports that GlobalEye does not meet several requirements set by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
