In Canada, how will UAVs contribute to maritime defence, for instance? They will be one of the solutions, not necessarily the solution. I would imagine that there are UAVs with submarine capability and that they could eventually replace existing submarines. As Mr. Barlow was saying about the new F-35s, they will probably be the last generation where avionics will play a critical role. Do you foresee the same technological change in maritime surveillance? Will emerging submarine technologies be able to replace existing submarines?
