Thank you.
Mr. Huebert, following on your last comments about the behaviour of the Russians, we do know the Russian Bears are 1955-designed aircraft, propeller-based, that fly back and forth. NORAD tells us publicly and consistently that both sides do the exercises of testing airspace and response times on an occasional basis, and that despite the—I won't call it hysteria--at least political use of these flights by the Government of Canada, this is just routine, and there's nothing really to it.
A new long-range bomber may or may not be in the works by the Russians, but do we need to have a type of aircraft other than the CF-18s? I'm not saying the CF-18s are going to last forever. Obviously, we have to replace planes if they're going out of service, but for what reason do we need or would we need something like the F-35 stealth strike fighter to keep track of those?
