I don't believe that's the case. The continued purchase of aircraft through the long-lead item.... The structure of the joint strike fighter program requires you to make incremental purchases year on year. Those have continued, as reporting and U.S. budget documents have suggested.
I don't think that's necessarily the case. I believe, as I stated in my last committee testimony, that this is being used as part of leverage. To Dr. Leuprecht's point, I don't believe there is a doubt within the Royal Canadian Air Force, as the commander of the air force stated a couple of months ago, that this is the option it needs. It is moving forward, and those plans seem to be moving forward, yet the political statement that should undergird all of this has not been made by the government.
