I would respond to this by saying that there is significant delay because of ITBs except in the case of the F-35 consortium, which is one of the few projects—on the good side—that recognizes the reality of the defence marketplace.
The ITB program has no sense of what is real and not real in that marketplace, particularly in the aerospace sector.
If you continue down the path with companies doing this, what happens? Investment gets made into Canada, industries sort of appear, and they have very short life spans because they don't get global market access. Then, when the project's over, a lot of them are gone unless they're fortunate enough to get integrated into the American prime supply chains.
What is good about the consortium is that, in fact, we get access to the marketplace. We get access to technology rather than build to print, because, in order for companies to be open and to be able to compete for bidding for components and for subsystems on the F-35, those companies have to get access to the technology and specifications provided by Lockheed Martin. This provides greater opportunities, which then link to long-term opportunities, because we are now linked into a global supply chain that goes beyond the F-35 and is certainly linked into a much larger export market.
This is, in my view, the way of the future.
