Every effort is being made, Mr. Chairman, to address some of the concerns that the member has raised. It's not only a concern to Canada, but it's a concern to all the partners. We need to make sure that we can get parts when we need them, where we need them, and that's an essential part of this.
One of the other facilitators in this process is that we're working with the United States and the other partners on developing a unique export control regime. One of the restrictions we have on getting parts quickly is sometimes the U.S. export control process, where there is a requirement to do retransfer authorization from the U.S. State Department to Canada, to the United Kingdom, to Australia. Within this program, we are working on addressing those particular issues in advance and making sure that no retransfer authorization will be required among the partners for parts required for the sustainment of the aircraft.
