As a result of the expertise that workers in Canada's aerospace sector have acquired over the years, that sector is now a very rich ecosystem. Consequently, I have no problem imagining that we can find an actor that can submit a bid and do the work within reasonable deadlines.
Canada's next fighter aircraft won't go into service and start flying tomorrow morning. Once the decision is confirmed, we'll have all the necessary leeway to establish the tools and training on the sites where maintenance and component manufacturing operations are carried out.
I think it's a rich, diversified and competent enough sector the do the work.
