Thank you.
Minister, I know you're aware that domestic and even some foreign aerospace firms have raised concerns that the air force wanted the C-27J, and of course we have Viking Air in Victoria, B.C., which has argued it could build the new Buffalo aircraft at assembly lines in British Columbia and Alberta. Company officials have questioned why your government would want to award search and rescue contracts to a foreign firm when we could have this aircraft built in Canada. Can you comment on that?
