I have a question of a more general nature for all of the witnesses.
You stated that MDA received a substantial amount of funding from Canada. Elsewhere, Mr. Thompson said that the jobs will not stay in Canada. Mr. Staples observed that the losses in terms of technologies and researchers would be sizeable. It may be that the jobs lost are tied to this expertise. In addition, ATK has acquired war-fighting technology and produces, among other things, land mines that are illegal under the international agreements to which Canada is a party. That concerns me. In my opinion, this is a very bad transaction that must be blocked.
I would like to hear your views on the subject.
