Your first customer is already the American government, with military defense purchases. In the case at hand, we could deduce that, in purchasing RADARSAT-2, what could not be done through the back door might be able to be done through the front door. We talked earlier about the missile defense shield and we said we were in disagreement. Your first customer being the U.S. Defense Department, this purchase would suit everyone.
