Swedish fighter-jet maker Saab is accusing Ottawa of not following the rules when it comes to its plan to purchase 88 F-35s.

The federal Liberal government announced in March that the F-35 had beaten out Saab’s Gripen in the multibillion-dollar competition to select a replacement for Canada’s aging CF-18 fighter jets.
