For the companies that are in this program today, and we've achieved up to 85 now, for sure, absolutely you want this program to continue. There is no guarantee, but basically what section 7.3 says is that if you signed the 2006 MOU, which we did, tick; and if you have a contract and you're still continuing to produce the good for which you were contracted in the best value mode, tick; and if you agreed to buy these jets, question mark at the moment, then normally, not always, but normally, you would be entitled to continue to produce this good for the full production numbers of aircraft, the thousands that are coming down the road. That's where the big money is.
So that's an incentive. But keep in mind two things. One is it says “normally”. There is no guarantee that any of the companies that in fact won contracts would automatically be given anything, especially as we've all read there's so much pressure under it that it considered retracting and doing things in a less costly kind of way.
So there's no guarantee, but beyond that, section 7.4 says, what happens if in fact Canada doesn't buy? Section 7.4 then comes in, because those same contracts would then be open for re-bid. Section 7.4 basically says that it's up to each participant country to make sure that the primes give their industries the same due diligence and same opportunity to bid for that again. So either way, there's still an opportunity for IRBs, industrial and regional benefits policy.
I'll just close with one other point, which I probably will make more often. We should never think that the IRBs are the reason we're in this program. It should never take first place over the need to make sure that our military is getting the right aircraft. Sometimes I get the impression.... Okay, I'm done.
