Absolutely.
The decision at that time was to increase the number of aircraft that we were modernizing from 10 to 14. That's a good-news story in that the subsequent development of the capability of the CP-140 has two roles. Principally it's an anti-submarine warfare capability and maritime surveillance, but it also has an overland ISR role as it's deployed right now in Iraq and Syria, as you pointed out.
The investment that we made working with DRDC and Canadian industry has realized the capability within the CP-140 is world leading. It's more capable than what's coming off the line on new products. So we took the decision at the time that we were going to invest in the CP-140 and keep that fleet active, because it made no sense in that we weren't going to get any technological advantage with a new one, and we'd perhaps work to see how we could potentially evolve Canadian technology into a Canadian aircraft in 2030. I think it was a wise decision.
We have to husband the fleet very carefully to get it out to 2030, so it could do a limited number of hours every year, but on its capability, I have no hesitation in saying in anti-submarine warfare and overland ISR, it's world class, if not world leading.
