Mr. Huebert, I find that the Russians are currently serving the Conservative government well in terms of justifying major contracts, whether in the north or in relation to high-performance planes. Don't you sometimes get the impression that the Canadian government is inclined to depict the Russians as demons, especially since, as far as I know, the Russians have not violated our airspace? They went into the buffer zone, but never into Canadian airspace. It seems that we never miss an opportunity to arm ourselves to the teeth because the Russians are coming. You even brought it up yourself, I think, when their infamous project to build stealth bombers was being discussed.
Doesn't this trigger escalation? By making noises like that, the Russians push the Canadian government to react by saying that it is going to arm itself too. Do you sort of get the impression that we are witnessing military escalation?
