I appreciate a couple of comments that Mr. Sands made. He talked about free-rider allies and easy rider. I also appreciate your comment that our defence review can't be rushed, that we need to wait until we see what the environment's going to be like in the U.S. I don't think there's any danger of us moving that quickly.
This is somewhat similar to a question I already asked, but what repercussions to Canada-U.S. relations might there be if we choose.... Short of asking your opinion on whether we should participate, do you see whether there are any potential repercussions that we might have if we chose not to participate?
Mr. Chair, I am assuming that there will be a couple of minutes left. I'd be happy to pass on a couple of minute to another member from this side once the gentlemen answer.
