I guess the facetious in me would ask where you are trying to go. If the objective is to re-equip the military and the strategy is to buy off-the-shelf, offshore in-production capability, where there is likely marginal benefit in return to the Canadian economy and knowledge-based jobs, our report says that is a missed opportunity and one we wouldn't think to be a huge success. But fundamental is the long-term, stable, predictable commitment that this government has made to refurbish the military. That, in and of itself, is a good start but it is not sufficient for us as an organization to claim victory. Victory arrives when we have that funding commitment aligned with industrial objectives that allow for a win-win environment for both the military and the economy.
