I'll echo what my colleagues have stated.
I think the other piece that's a really great practice here is the fact that we are joining a user group of all of our NATO allies that are in the Five Eyes group, and we are able to share that information. We also have the Australia, Canada and U.K. reprogramming lab, which is extraordinary. It is a tripartite effort to develop the mission datasets that we'll use for the CF-35A.
As Heather pointed out, the economies of scale are really important. They allow us to get best-customer pricing. They also allow us to join bulk buys, which brings our pricing down. Looking at the fact that this particular aircraft would have over 3,000 units worldwide, around 2,000 of them within our continent, you see that it provides increased opportunities for our industry, which is already providing over three million dollars' worth of parts on existing aircraft. We haven't even received that in Canada yet. We anticipate that this could grow, and that would be good for our economy.
There is one thing that I think is challenging. I don't know that any of us in this room thought that in 2025 we would have so many regional wars and also see a war in Europe. That geopolitical situation was hard to forecast. I think we do need to do a better job of that and have our costing match more for worst-case scenarios instead of reasonable scenarios, because the world is changing. Much of the cost increase and many of the changes are actually because the threat is proliferating rapidly and is changing. We have to achieve overmatch, so that we can bring our women and men, like Lieutenant-General Speiser-Blanchet, home and continue to undertake the missions asked of us by our government.
Thank you.
