Thank you. You've talked about tactical and strategic aircraft. We're talking about four strategic C-17s and possibly tactical aircraft, the C-130Js.

I would like to know what you think are the most pressing needs in terms of aircraft. We've talked about search and rescue aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft. Could you give us an idea of the needs of the Canadian Forces?
