Well, I have to say that we will be in a world of hurt. Our older fleet of C-130 aircraft is dying out from underneath us very quickly, and we need to find some way of replacing that. We set a requirement, which I feel very strongly was a very good requirement, and the process to date has identified one compliant bidder, that being the C-130J.
By way of interest, you mentioned other countries that we have collaboration with. In fact, the three countries you mentioned all operate the C-130J. I met recently with the heads of their air forces. All three countries are very pleased with that particular aircraft. It is serving them very well right now. So I'm actually quite enthusiastic that we are going to receive them.
In respect of the actual price, I do know that the gentlemen on my right here will, over the next while, be doing some extensive negotiations with Lockheed Corporation on this issue. They will drive a hard bargain, as they have in the past, and I'm sure we will get good value for money. I say that because I have confidence in them, but it really is not the air force's responsibility to negotiate the price. It is our responsibility to set the requirement, and then once Public Works and Government Services and other arms of government have done their work, we'll bring them into service.
So as to your question regarding price, I think I would have to defer that to the gentlemen from PWGSC.
