That's a tough one. It's a subjective area.
Defence spending is in fact a zero-sum game. Although the Department of National Defence may have to pay a premium to cover industrial benefits out of the carefully stated defence budget, in that sense they can't acquire as much as they would otherwise. On the other hand, they benefit from industrial benefits going into the Canadian defence and aerospace industry, because they are the people who by and large provide in-service support for the equipment once it gets into existence, and who in many cases will provide off-the-shelf equipment for the Canadian Forces.
So the premium has to be balanced against the benefits, the rather subtle but important benefits, that the industry gets out of the industrial regional benefits policy.
