Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome. My two questions are for all of you. The first is about possible job losses. After the sale of MDA to ATK, the first two pieces of international law to apply will be ITAR and the Patriot Act. What impact will this sale have on the workers? We know that ATK does 90 percent of its business with the U.S. Department of Defence. Canadian workers will be subject to ITAR and the Patriot Act.
My second question has to do with the service contract that Canada has with MDA. Under this contract, MDA will transfer 445 million dollars to ATK for the acquisition of satellite images. But we know that it will obviously be the U.S. government who will decide what images will be transmitted.
Under these circumstances, do you believe that we will get our money's worth or will we end up on the losing end?
