Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You mentioned that it is remarkable that Canada is in fourth position on the world markets in terms of its aerospace industry, particularly because it does not have a large military to be an important client and particularly because of the cyclical valleys that occur in this industry.
That makes me want to ask you about Canada's current defence procurement policy, and I'd like you to be candid in answering this. Do you see a role for procurement policy, as part of overall government strategy, in helping your industry--providing, of course, we respect all the trade rules of NAFTA and WTO where they may apply?
That's for whoever wishes to answer, please.
