I think the concept that we ought to be ashamed of having to compete for work is misplaced. I think that only people who can't compete are ashamed to compete. We know what we're doing. We know the world market. We're working the world market in everything we do on the civil side. Why not do it on the defence side too? And we're winning. We've already delivered almost $35 million worth of product: competed for, won, and delivered. That's just the initial stages, before we're even at any kind of reasonable production.
We have colleagues across Canada, who we know are just as good, who are winning as well. In fact, I think just a week ago, Mr. Kalil, from Avcorp, announced a $500 million contract they'd won.
So we don't think that anybody, especially representatives of the country, should be ashamed that their industry has to compete for something.
