I'm in general agreement with my colleague. I want to add a few points.
First of all, the stealth capability, just beginning, is a capability that we ought to join because it's a process that we will join with NATO partners, and the United States, of course, in the development of an aircraft into the future. The F-18, even the Super Hornet, is an airplane built 20 or 30 years ago that has kept going, and that is not an option for the future. There may be some bridging possibilities, but for the future I think the reality of having a manned fighter plane will remain a necessity, especially given the enormous air, land, and sea space we have, for Canada to be in the frontier of technology.
