We worked hard with our colleagues in Industry Canada on these programs, and I think very cooperatively. They don't interfere at all. They understand the high level of performance requirements of the Canadian Forces and are very supportive, and I work closely with my fellow ADMs; we meet every month on a Friday morning and review how we are collectively moving these programs forward.
It is an important opportunity to bring in economic industrial opportunities for Canadian firms, to transfer that technology and those skills to Canada, and to sustain jobs and economic growth for Canadians. It is not, and does not have to be, at odds with providing good effective equipment to the Canadian Forces.
