I remind the committee that you'll have other force employers here. Our job as force employers is not to figure out what's coming next; it's to take what we have today and be able to use it. So when it comes to the F-35, it's a question that you're going to have to pose to the Chief of the Air Staff, who is responsible for bringing in capabilities. But from all my readings, clearly it will provide the support we will need in the future, given the generation of aircraft that it is, the technology that it has, to be able to protect and defend Canada.
I throw out for the committee that none of us knows where the world is going to be in 10, 15, 20 years. We know where it will be perhaps in the next number of years. It's something I would expect Canadians would expect us all to ensure, that we are ready not just today but in the future for anything that could happen.
