Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
We've been told that the JSF is the only jet that met requirements to best serve our women and men in the Canadian Forces, and indeed the security of Canada, so I'm going to focus on what seems to be the concern, and that is how jobs are going to spin off from this project.
In addition to your corporate headquarters.... I'm going to direct my question to Bill Matthews. In addition to Mississauga, I understand that you have plants in Winnipeg, Kitchener, Vancouver...and Haley Industries. I was indeed speaking to Jim Lemenchick. He explained that they are going to get a piece of this business. He said that while the F-35 memorandum of understanding has been put into place in Canada, in addition to the jobs from its manufacturing, there was going to be a launch of a new generation of technology at the plant level. As a consequence, far beyond the F-35 project, there will be new opportunities available that have never been available before.
Can you elaborate on how the exposure to the new technology will expand the aerospace industry in Canada?
