The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Saab has delivered new proposals to Ottawa that forecast creating 12,600 jobs if the Swedish company's two main military aircraft, the Gripen fighter jet and the GlobalEye surveillance plane, are built in Canada. The Globe's Eric Reguly writes that Industry Minister Mélanie Joly confirmed that the industrial-benefits packages arrived in recent days. "We're talking 150 to 200 aircraft being built in Canada," she told The Globe. "Saab is offering a very attractive proposal to the Canadian government that has strong industrial development and job-creation aspects to it." Saab previously said that building the Gripen E model -- the newest version of the single-engine jet equipped with the most advanced electronic-warfare systems -- in Canada would create 10,000 direct and indirect jobs. Ms. Joly said that the latest proposal set the Gripen job count at 9,000, while building the entire GlobalEye, which is based on the Bombardier 6500-series business jet, in Canada would create 3,600 jobs. Canada has ordered 88 F-35 stealth fighter jets made by Lockheed Martin but has committed to buy only 16 of them. Prime Minster Mark Carney ordered a review of the purchase in March.
