The best way, in our view, to ensure that is through your endorsement of the defence industrial strategy. I would add that while you acknowledge that aerospace is part of the defence and security sector, there are a number of industrial capabilities that cross over—though I'm not sure of the right word here—aerospace and land vehicles and soldier systems and naval systems, and many of those are in the defence electronics area. That's why we would encourage the government to look for all opportunities where defence electronics can play a role in the F-35 program, because those will subsequently be applicable to other procurements the government has in its plans for the Canada First defence strategy.
