I think we can be extremely proud of the work that is being done by aluminum workers in Kitimat, B.C. The Rio Tinto infrastructure is iconic and, I must say, extremely important for the entire west coast of North America.
We've been working with—and I've been in close touch with—the CEO of Rio Tinto, as he's in charge of the Kitimat and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean investments. As a Quebecker, I'm fond of aluminum products because they come from my province, and I'm also happy to know that Quebec and B.C. share this in common.
That being said, you're indeed right. Our investments in defence will be helpful for the aerospace sector. When I was in your province, I went to Cascade, which is an important IMP-owned company that is key for our country, and particularly for western Canada. I went also to the De Havilland facility on Vancouver Island, which is quite something, and we're seeing that their book of business is going to be increased because of our investments.
We need to land good investments in B.C. for the defence sector, and I'm convinced that by really increasing the demand for airplanes—planes made in Canada—we will be able to support our aluminum workers even more, because we know that aluminum is key to the aerospace sector. Our buy Canada policy, as you were mentioning, is going to be at work.
