If you really want to see an example of what a truly nationalized defence procurement system is, look at a country like France. France will invest heavily in maintaining its own domestic defence industry—and at great cost, I would add. It sometimes leads to some illogical practices. For instance, some years Dassault will produce only a couple of Rafale aircraft. It's just to keep the production line going, but they keep it going.
You have to ask yourself as a Canadian—we had the Auditor General here—if we would accept subsidizing a defence industry producing one or two pieces of equipment just to keep the line going because we think it's important nationally to maintain that industry. That's always an option, but to be quite frank, we're too capitalistic for that.
