The process that we've started to implement in submarines is a good example of foreign suppliers clearly understanding that they need to get points by putting Canadian companies' products on the platform. That process—and I won't take credit for it, because that decision was made before I got here—has worked incredibly well. The German-Norwegian partnership and the Korean group have been criss-crossing Canada, including Quebec, to look for partners to improve the likelihood of their bids.
In terms of the financial players you mentioned, I'm very familiar with those organizations. I think that down the road, there is probably a place for us to make a contribution to the government. At the moment, we're not looking for financing to buy these platforms. Our colleagues in Finance worry about how we're going to finance the platforms. I think there's an opportunity in the longer run, which is probably beyond the scope of an early meeting on the BIA, for the government to play a role on the investing side with partners like that, some of which are sovereign wealth funds. The case would be a form of that.
I think there is a big opportunity internationally, as we have seen large countries show a willingness to invest in Canada.
