Let me ask you a hypothetical question that follows on from that, then, and you'll understand why it's hypothetical.
If we were to buy a strategic airlift aircraft such as the C-17, and if there were a logistics and support capability that was already established and was used by other people who have bought that aircraft, and that already involves many Canadian companies in fulfilling that, which obviously supplies jobs and industrial benefit to Canada, would it make good sense to simply become part of that system, rather than trying to generate an orphan system of our own at great expense, for which we have no money and no manpower?
That's not a leading question, is it?
You don't have to take long to answer it, Minister.
