Can I ask a question about sovereignty in the large space that we have, including air space, well out into the North Atlantic and the Arctic? Does the nature of Canada's geography and what we might have to do in the sense of sovereignty patrols and our ability to intercept, etc., have any influence on the strategic choice that Canada might make in choosing, for example, a successor to the F-18 fighter jet? What type, what capabilities, and what functions would be the priorities for Canada as opposed to some other country in choosing a jet? Do you have any views on that?
