First, in order to have a measurable process, we must have an objective. As the ministers and deputy ministers explained this morning, the purchasing objective seems to be $12 billion. If we set a $12-billion goal, we will then have to determine what the targets will be in the next few years for aircraft maintenance and sales abroad. We will want to know where we are at every three to six months, as needed. For example, we could meet in six months and announce that we have $2.6 billion, and that we will have $5.7 billion in a year. This way, members of the industry, the public, journalists, the press, media, and so on, will be able to see if we are moving towards that objective. In my opinion, the only way to succeed is to make public our progress towards achieving the objectives.
