I was wondering for some time now, how many F-35 (JSF) will the Royal Canadian Air Force Induct?

See, there was an order for 180 CF-18s in the 1980s, which was cut back to 139?

So, since the F-35 will be more potent, less numbers will be required, I doubt it'll go beyond 100, so I think it'll be more on the lines of 80, can anyone help me out here?
