I find it a bit concerning that we spend a great deal of money on very fancy equipment—maybe it's getting fancier as we procure more—and yet we missed the first time. That's concerning. It was a slow-moving balloon.
I'll move on. For this slow-moving balloon, it was stated that you weren't really sure why it was chosen. Now, is it possible that China would use this surveillance equipment because we would underestimate it and because there have been 336 similar aerial objects?
We discussed this in the last committee, and I think we actually discussed this with the minister earlier. There was an understanding that we didn't want to infer what China was watching and if they were watching our reaction to it and how they were monitoring that. They responded quite angrily when all four of those surveillance balloons were shot down, and there was an inference of some bad blood on our part, I guess you could say. Is that being considered as part of all this? Are we looking at why they chose those specific balloons?
