As I told you before, it's not a sprint, it's a marathon, so we'll have another occasion to talk about it.
You had a document, sir, about procurement of defence goods under ITAR. We know that on the C-17 it is a direct commercial sale, right? You didn't have an MOU or an FMS, which is a foreign military sale, right? So now you're saying that, regarding dual national restrictions, you issued a code red and said it's an unmanageable problem.
My problem is this—and I agree with you, by the way, totally. If we're talking about dual national restrictions, we're not just talking about the fact that people who work in the industry work and have dual citizenship. The Department of State is talking about 25 countries, including Asians, Chinese, Lebanese, etc. That's a total disgrace in terms of our own sovereignty, and we're abdicating our Charter of Rights. But that's the government's problem, and I hope they'll do something about it.
But the problem goes further than that. We're also saying it will have an impact on our own DND employees. Can you confirm that? It means that our own personnel from DND from those 25 countries who have dual citizenship won't be able to work on or have access to this equipment. That's pretty scary.
Why don't we have a deal? Why didn't we go to the Department of State or the Department of Defense or even the President of the United States? That's what an MOU is all about.
