We required
that 100% of the acquisition value of the contract be provided in IRBs. We also required that 100% of the contractor's share of the maintenance contract with the American government equally come back as industrial regional benefits.
Within that, we've also asked that 60% of the requirements be identified up front at the time of the contract signing. Equally, and I think the minister reviewed this briefly in some of his earlier comments, 50% of the contract value is to be seen in the aerospace and defence sectors. So, too, 30% of the IRBs are to find themselves within the key technology areas. There were nine key technology areas that the government settled upon and were reflected in the RFP. Further, 15% are to be in small and medium-sized Canadian businesses.
Those really are the outlines of the IRB requirements within the strategic airlift program.
