Can I add one thing, Mr. Chair, just to be clear?
This applies to planes and ships. We are loading them up with more things all the time. Weight is important and weight obviously impacts range.
The P-8 does indeed meet the RCAF's requirement for range. The range is not as good as the CP-140, largely because of its weight, but the P-8 is capable of air-to-air refuelling, so it meets the range requirements of the RCAF. It is able to refuel in the air, which allows it to stay in theatre longer.
