That brings me to the F-35. I'll get your thoughts on that.
As a country, we currently benefit from the Canada-U.S. defence production sharing agreement. Essentially, defence companies here are treated like domestic American companies. We have been part of the partnership for the F-35 since 2002. Currently, there are over 110 Canadian companies that have contributed to the F-35 supply chain. Right now, that's over $3 million in over 1,200 aircraft that have been produced so far.
