Well, the range of missions is vast. We all acknowledge that. They include, in some cases, the use of force, particularly if a mission involves protecting civilians, for example. We would also like to note that because there is a range of missions, Canada does get to choose where it may want to emphasize its engagement. I think that's the question we would want to raise: has there been a full discussion of the mission range that this aircraft in particular would be meeting?
