Thank you, Chair.
And thank you, gentlemen, for your most intriguing presentation.
First of all, on May 27--and I was there--the defence minister said in the House of Commons that there would be an open competition for the successor to the F-18s, this despite the fact of Canadian participation in the JSF development program.
Were you aware of that statement, and did you take it the same way as I did, that you'd get a chance to participate?
