Again, being the national industry association representing over 95% of aerospace activity in Canada, we don't usually comment on specifics when it comes to procurements that involve individual member companies and those that are going on. However, generally speaking, we have long been advocating for action to maximize defence procurement and government partnerships that drive industrial growth.
In terms of COVID-19, there is absolutely no doubt that aerospace is a strategically important sector that can play a significant role in contributing to Canada's overall economic recovery. This is a message that we've been stressing in our discussions with government, including calling for the acceleration of planned program spending in both defence and space.
Again, it goes back to the original call that I made in my opening remarks: the need for a sector-specific strategy. That would then encompass every aspect of aerospace, including civil, defence and space, to ensure that benefits to Canadians are absolutely maximized.
You're absolutely right. There are some amazing companies out in British Columbia doing some amazing things.
