Today’s questions:

  1. What happened to Canada’s plan to buy F-35 fighter jets?
  2. Where is Egypt heading?
  3. What should we make of this week’s confrontation in the House between the government’s Peter Van Loan and the NDP’s Nathan Cullen?
  4. If the House of Commons were a human, what sort of human would it be?
