Okay, but I have to be concerned. I know that you might not have the time to answer this question. Earlier, I gave you a document from the White House. The American president set up a commission to look into decreasing the deficit. The F-35s were affected right off the bat. You already know that the F-35 program for the marines will probably be cancelled. The plan is to cut the production of F-35s for the American air force and navy by half.
So, this week, I put a question to people in Washington. It is important to specify that nine other nations signed an MOU. I wanted to know what consequences this would have on our production. The Bloc Québécois knows that you have the best suspenders in the world, but it would like you to have the best belt in the world as well, so that a good part of the money invested by Canada would come back to us. But the industrial and regional benefits have supposedly not been accepted as part of the MOU.
I am bringing this problem to your attention. I would like you to look into it with your financial experts and let us know what it involves. If the Americans don't take the first airplanes off the assembly line because the cost is prohibitive, it will certainly have a negative impact over the years. As you know, ours are supposed to be delivered in 2016.
I know that my time is running out, but I would like you to send me the answer when you can.
