Thank you very much, and thank you for your presentations today.
On the C-17s, the government invoked a national security exemption that results in a large portion of their maintenance being allowed to happen only in the U.S. I'm interested in your opinions on that and why you think there would be a national security exemption.
I'm also wondering who you primarily deal with in government. Is it DND, Public Works, Industry Canada--who are the go-to people for you?
What has your experience been with government? We had a change of government last year. I'm wondering how much that has changed the process you go through.
Finally, I agree that ITAR is a very big problem for Canada and Canadians. I think it's a big problem not only for industrial capability, as you said, Mr. Page; it's also a big problem in terms of Canadian jobs. After all, it's people working in Canada who pay the taxes and make it possible for us to fund not only defence procurement but everything else in Canada. If we don't have an industrial base and jobs here in Canada, that affects everything that happens in terms of government priorities and what we can do.
I'd be interested in having you respond to those issues.
