For us, it's going to be very important to create jobs through the defence funding. This reliance on the U.S. defence sector must end.
The government is going to create more than 100,000 jobs in Canada. Our procurement rule will be, first of all, to build here. If it's not possible to build here because Canada doesn't have the necessary skills, it will create partnerships and associations. If we can't do that, then we will buy products elsewhere.
I'll give you an example. Bombardier, which is an aerospace manufacturer, can certainly build planes. It's the same thing for the Davie shipyard in Quebec City. If Canada can't do it alone, Bombardier and Saab can work together to create and build a surveillance aircraft, like the GlobalEye.
Let's take the example of submarines, which we don't build in Canada. The idea is not only to buy German or Korean submarines, but also to create jobs at Marmen in Trois-Rivières.
The government could also create AI jobs at Cohere in Toronto. It could also create jobs at Algoma Steel, or in Sorel in the steel sector or, of course, in Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean in the aluminum sector, thanks to investments and procurement.
