I got the point, thank you. I would just point out that, in the 1950s, Canada was a great power, arguably, then, but we are not now. We represented a much greater percentage of the global economy and, only a mere decade later, we were among the top five militaries in the world. That, clearly, is no longer the case, but I appreciate your explaining that.
I have a question now for Dr. Perry. You mentioned the need, as your second recommendation, on execution.... Can you explain why it is that we cannot execute in this country? I note that both Finland and Canada purchased F-35 jets in the same month, in the same year. Finland announced the purchase of 64. We announced the purchase of 88 F-35s. They have 5.5 million people. We have 40 million people. We are almost 10 times their size. Their jets will be fully operational, with airbases in the Arctic, in 2030. The Auditor General indicated to us that, at the earliest, we would be operational in 2033-34, and likely not at that point because of likely further delays. Why can we not seem to execute on anything, with respect to military procurement, in this country?
