As I mentioned earlier, the Royal Canadian Air Force is really keen to deliver on its mission set that has been dictated to us by “Strong, Secure, Engaged” in Canada's defence policy, so our goal is to make sure we meet Canada's expectation of its Royal Canadian Air Force.
That said, one of the primary roles for our air force is to be interoperable with NORAD, NATO and Five Eyes partners. That's why we have put that in place in our requirements and we expect that the aircraft we will purchase for the future fighter capability will be interoperable and meet those missions.
Now, if for some reason Canada wants us to evolve or change our role, we will have to look at the requirements at that stage and then we would make an operational deficiency report. We would engage with ADM(Mat) colleagues and then PSPC to find a solution on that front.
From an air force perspective for operational requirements, that is how the air force would select a specific operational requirement that it needs. It's based on what we've been tasked with by our government.
