Absolutely. As with any other area of advanced economic activity in our country, there's never going to be an autarchy of defence. We're not going to build the full stack, as it's said, of industrial activity to produce some of these goods. We're not going to produce the computer chips in Canada for the most part.
The reality is that hitting 70%, depending on how you do the accounting, is possible. I really don't think in real practice that that's the case, and frankly, I don't think that's a good industrial policy, because if you think about it, wartime production requires producing something at very large, massive scales. You want to have interoperability with your allies. You want to ensure that everybody can utilize this industrial base and that we will have enough capacity. Trying to build very specific Canadian industries that are utilized by only our forces is not a clever wartime policy whatsoever, and it's ahistorical.
