I'd like to read you a quote from the Peterborough Examiner of February 2, 2002, with regard to the JSF project:
The aim of the project is to produce affordable, high-tech jet fighters to fill a variety of roles. ... ''This is an important agreement for both the Department of National Defence and Canadian industry,'' said Alan Williams, the assistant deputy minister for material who represented Canada at the signing. He added the project ''will enhance interoperability with U.S. and allied forces, and will provide opportunities for Canadian industry to participate in this cutting-edge aerospace project.''
If the aim is to give us interoperability with U.S. and allied forces, that kind of implies that we're going to buy the airplane.
