Let's be candid. Lockheed Martin is going to control the high technology in the manufacturing of the aircraft. The key fuselage, the Q-bay, and the key technologies are going to be maintained by Lockheed Martin. So what's left over? Machining, composite work, assembly.
For example, we'll take a look at Pratt & Whitney, in Longueuil, Quebec, which is one of the things we mention in our brief. It's not good enough for the government to say that we're going to give you work, Pratt & Whitney. It's more important that we say to Pratt & Whitney that we're going to give you this work and you're going to do this work in Canada.
I'm not so hung up, sir, by the way, for the purposes of this discussion, on sole-sourcing. I'm interested in sole-sourcing when it's a net benefit to Canada. Canada doesn't build fighter jets. If we built fighter jets, I would suggest that they be sole-sourced to Canadian companies. If we're talking about the military buying trucks, we would say that they should be sole-sourced to Navistar, in Chatham. It should be forcing Navistar to build trucks in Chatham. If it's buses.... So I'm fine if it has a net benefit for Canada.
It's a different argument today when we're talking about an American multinational. Clearly, the issue today is jobs.
