Tories set to sink billions into cargo planes for military
The Canadian government is expected to announce as early as Monday a plan to buy C-17s and a competition to replace its C-130s.

Four C-17s are expected to be ordered with the first arriving late this year.

Its plan to replace the C-130s could favour the C-130J as well. The government is expected to call for delivery of the planes by about two years. The A400M is not expected to enter production until 2009.
