Thank you.
I have one other question, Mr. Chairman.
I thank you for your answer. Obviously when these things come up, we need the answers.
What operational capabilities can the Canadian air force expect from its initial F-35 aircraft when they begin arriving—if they go ahead with the purchase—on Canadian air bases in 2016? Will these aircraft be able to fully support CAF-prescribed data or air-to-air or air-to-ground mission sets? If not, what can we expect until the full mission capabilities are available, equivalent to those offered by competing aircraft today? Are there any additional costs the Canadian government could expect to incur to fund these enhanced capabilities?
