The Canadian government has signed on to become the first observer of the U.K., Italy and Japan's program to build the next generation of stealth fighter jets by 2035.

The commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force told CBC News "it's feasible to imagine a world" where Canada becomes a full partner and buys these jets in the future.
