I'm not entirely sure about the infrastructure side. I know the government has certainly put forward several programs to build out the infrastructure of Bagotville and Cold Lake.
I think the bigger issue with a transition toward the F-35 is the personnel side. As we see, the RCAF is well below the required established rank for its pilots and its maintainers. Its ability to transition toward a fighter fleet.... Sure, we may get the first one in 2026, but the question is when we will have our full fleet and when it will be fully operational. I believe the dates were supposed to be 2031-32, but the reality is that it's probably significantly further away from that, because the air force cannot fill the seats with pilots to fly the aircraft and maintain them.
To your questions about drones, I would point out that I think we certainly.... There are technological challenges operating in the north. If you look at how air warfare is developing as well, you still need a man in the loop. You still need somebody there to provide the final point of human contact to operate fighters. Drones are not at the stage whereby they can operate in the same effective way; thus, we will require an aircraft that is a manned fighter.
If you look at some of the developments going forward, you also see aircraft that are.... It's man-machine training, whereby drones are going to be controlled by a single-man fighter like the F-35 or a next-generation aircraft in that way.
