I think we have to be careful as well. I believe in the last panel you asked a question about Bombardier aircraft and about the potential to procure a maritime patrol aircraft.
Just to develop the P-8 in the United States it would basically cost just as much as it did for Canada to actually procure the aircraft. There are certainly areas where a manufacturer like Bombardier has an advantage, and we should look to those. However, that really requires a careful understanding of, what the requirements are, how much it costs, and then making judgment on it as to whether it is an area we should put our money in, what the benefit of it would be, and what potential there is to market it in Canada or elsewhere.
I think because of the lack of capacity within the department and a lot of other factors, it's not an area where we do really well but where we really should do well, given the objectives of the government to increase domestic defence production.
