Absolutely. I think that's part of it. We have what are called the key industrial capabilities or KICs, and what we do is we take the ITB—the industrial and technological benefits—funding and use that to support Canadian industry. It's not really an effective strategy. A lot of countries have moved away from such strategies. I think the government is going to look at the KICs and try to use them to fund domestic priorities in a kind of roundabout way. That's just going to cut into the budget of the Canadian Armed Forces for procurement and also increase time and delays for equipment.
I would probably caution the government about looking at that way as a stimulus measure for the economy, and I'm quite worried that this is actually what it is looking to do.
