Thank you for your question.
It's an absolutely great one.
There are some formal mechanisms where we do engage with government, but I think we need more. We definitely need more engagement on the upcoming defence policy review that the Minister of Defence has promised and that the recent budget has promised.
We are encouraged by the $8 billion of new funding in the budget, but we need more discussion. Where is that going? There is not a lot of clarity on that.
On NORAD modernization also, there are huge opportunities for our industry, but we need to have more collaboration, more discussion. Again, that goes back to the need for an overarching aerospace strategy.
We can take some lessons from Quebec. The provincial government has put forward an aerospace strategy, and they are very strategic in how they are approaching the industry. That's something we need to emulate at the national level also.
As I said before, all of our competitor nations have strategies, and they're executing against those strategies. We need to do the same here. That builds the capacity and the capability of industry, and allows industry to respond to the government's needs. I think, with the Ukraine situation right now, we see those requirements changing at a very rapid pace, and we need to make sure that industry has a clear understanding of how to contribute and respond to some of these pretty significant challenges that are coming up.
