I think we have to be careful that we don't generalize what we did in Afghanistan. Much of the kit we bought was specifically for that theatre, for that geography, and for that climate.
What we're buying is something that serves us everywhere, especially in Canada. I think we just have to be careful we don't generalize.
The Manley panel made very specific recommendations for the things we needed to do now in Afghanistan, and this is what the government reacted to. Thanks to our allies, we were able to respond and deploy assets that were suitable for Afghanistan.
The Chinook Delta would not be suitable for Canadian operations in the high north. It's not built that way. It doesn't have the inherent capabilities to operate in the very rough domestic environment for us in Canada. The Chinook Foxtrot that we're buying will have that capability.
So I want to be careful that we don't generalize.
