Absolutely. There's no transparency.
We don't even have a lot of questions today, but we've never met officially. We hear people saying that there's no decision, but everything is trending towards the P-8. All of the discussion is about justifying why the P-8 is the right airplane.
The one thing I can offer here is that we have a more capable solution. Our airplane can fly faster, higher and farther. We are actually being approached by many other countries right now for a similar application. We have a lower cost. We believe we're going to be $3 billion to $4 billion cheaper.
This is taxpayer money we're talking about here. The cost of operating our airplane will be 30% to 40% less, with 40% fewer fuel emissions, which I believe should also be a criteria. We are creating 22,000 jobs in the country if we win this contract. We're going to probably bring, with the 22,000 jobs, about $800 million of fiscal benefit and revenue to the government.
One important thing that we also bring to the table is a sovereign solution. If DND, in a few years from now, needs to make changes or improvements, it won't need to knock on the door of another country to ask permission. We're going to have a sovereign solution.
