From my understanding, the Canadian companies would essentially have lost the work. The program that governed that was an industrial participation program. If Canada had stopped participating in the program by indicating that we weren't going to buy the airplane, then we would have lost the participation from the companies. That work share was open to people who were intending to buy the plane. We had a spot held for us, essentially, so long as we remained a partner and the F-35 was still a potential selection by Canada, but if we had gone in another direction, I don't see why we would have expected to continue getting that work.
