Thank you.
I see a bit of what I hope isn't a contradiction, and maybe there can be a bit more clarity from both witnesses on this. That streamlining we're talking about and that immediate need, because things have been so delayed in terms of procurement and bids and so on.... That streamlining seems to almost work against this idea, because that long-term planning hasn't happened and the long-term strategy isn't there.
Can you both talk about how you see them fitting together better so we're not just buying off the shelf and spending a lot of money on something like an F-35, which is now ballooning in the American system? They are already showing how many more trillions of dollars they're pouring into it, the forces, and that isn't Canadian-made and isn't part of that longer vision and that strategy.
