Thank you for being here, Minister.
Thanks to your full team for being here.
As I read about the defence industrial strategy, I see us wanting to do more at home and buy locally in Canada. We're going to raise the share of acquisition of supply from Canadian firms to 70%. We're forecasting that we're going to create 125,000 good defence jobs in Canada. We're also going to export some of what we develop and build here.
Using a boilerplate of a question, how important is it for us to have this defence industrial strategy in our country at this time?
