I think the only factual answer that can be given at this point in time is that the Canadian government has allocated $9 billion to ensure that our men and women in the air force and in the military are afforded the best equipment possible to do their jobs. We are part of the joint strike fighter program. We are all monitoring the situation. Decisions will yet have to be made. Those definitive numbers are not known at this time, but we will work within the envelope to ensure that the men and women get the best equipment at the very best consideration for taxpayers.
