I would like to continue in the vein of what you said earlier, General Deschamps, regarding technological content and intellectual property. It appears that Lockheed Martin is not prepared, in a number of cases, to share the highly technological content and intellectual property it possesses on this type of airplane.
Hearing this kind of thing always scares me. I don't want the work of Canadian companies to be reduced to replacing tires or painting wing scratches. That is not what Canadian companies want. They want to be involved in the high-tech aspect, and they want there to be a certain transfer of intellectual property. I would like to hear your thoughts on that.
I would also like you to talk about ITAR. Do you feel that this policy should be changed? I have made several efforts regarding this in Washington. Do you think we should convince the Americans that, since we are unconditional friends, the ITAR approach should be done away with because it puts a burden on Canadian and Quebec companies?
