Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Rowe, thanks. It's an honour to have you here.
We think this government has abdicated our Canadian sovereignty. We also believe they have abdicated our industry.
I'd like you to expand a little bit more on the importance of owning our intellectual property in those acquisitions.
You'll notice that through the C-17, we gave them a blank cheque of $1.3 billion for the ISS that we will never own. They're still negotiating on ITAR. They don't even have a deal for our own people who are working at DND right now, and the issue of dual citizenship is clearly a problem. I'd like you to talk a little bit more about how the industry will go if we don't own those kinds of intellectual properties.
Secondly, I have a very concrete question, but I don't want to put you on the spot. You have some people working for you who have dual citizenship. You will have to make a choice. How do you react to those contracts if they ask you to make a choice between the employee or the contract itself? How do you feel when you have to face those questions?
