Our first choice is to work with Canadian partners. We spend in Canada approximately $3 billion on research and development in our universities. This is a huge investment made by the Government of Canada.
If we can leverage the knowledge that exists in our universities and our companies, then that is to our benefit. We cannot ignore the fact...and I apologize for leaving at 4:30, but the invitation I had received was until 4:30. I'm leaving tonight to go to Washington to leverage the $60-billion investment in research and development that the U.S. is making in defence. It's an enormous investment, and our participation in projects with the United States, the U.K., Australia, and other allies brings back to Canada military capabilities and technologies that we would not have access to because our investment is relatively modest.
