Allow me to answer in English.
If I understand the question correctly, and I am paraphrasing, you are asking what analysis has been done to ensure we have access to the capabilities that we need.
We have to keep in mind very much that for things like fighter aircraft, or other really high-tech capabilities, there are very few countries in the world that actually do that type of production. Canada made a strategic choice in the fifties to no longer produce fighter aircraft. The challenge that we're up against is with countries that have invested over decades to develop those types of capabilities. We don't have a simple way to build that industry in Canada really quickly. This will take time, a lot of funding, and support from government to get us to a level where we don't have to depend on other countries for that type of technology.
The threat that we are up against on a daily basis is extremely high-tech. This isn't as simple as it might have been during World War II where we took an automotive factory and started producing bomber aircraft. When we get to the level of complexity in the weapons systems, the ecosystem that needs to support that is extremely important.
To speak more specifically to the question, as part of our assessment—and this isn't just the Department of Defence, this is also with PSPC and ISED—when we do a competition for capability, we look at the support ability as part of how that assessment is done.
While there may be a desire to keep everything within Canada, and we have incredibly advanced industry in many areas, supporting aircraft is one of those things where we have great industrial abilities, but we still don't have all of the capabilities we need to meet our operational requirements indigenously to Canada, if I could say that.
Therefore, we are relying on other countries in many cases to build some of the equipment that we need. We are very much aware of that, and we factor that into how we build our requirements and procurements.
