Thank you for your question, Mr. Bouchard.
It is a bit premature right now to give details about that. As you said, the task forces can at least be split in two. There are approximately 24 planes per base. Seventeen is the maximum number of planes that has currently been set aside and that may be used for training. These aircraft are still operational but are primarily used for training. My goal is to reduce that number. It is too early to say how that will be achieved, be it through simulation, partner training or a contract. This is a relatively new area for us. We will need a few years to put together a program proposal that meets our needs at an affordable cost.
Training currently takes place in the United States, with our partners, for the beginning of the program. We still have many years ahead of us before we have to decide what the future of training will be. My goal is to reduce the number of planes that would be dedicated to training and to allocate those planes to operational units in order to maximize our operational strength. I cannot say where that will be, as it will depend on how effective and efficient the partnership is.
