I just hope that we are not purchasing aircraft that will be flown by Canadians, but that will belong to the Americans.

Providing training and doing maintenance and updates on aircraft here, and not in the U.S., is a significant value added. Otherwise, those aircraft will be paid by Canadians, flown by Canadians, but will belong to the Americans. It would not make any sense.
