Historically speaking, I'll give you a foreign example. The airline industry in the interwar years in Europe very often was government-owned, and very often they ordered aircraft that were built in their country.
In some cases, they were not necessarily the best aircraft available, but they were the aircraft that were built in the country, whereas in America from the mid-thirties onward pretty much until Airbus came along—with some exceptions—the airline industry was dominated by U.S. airliners. So there were cases where European airlines were stuck with European airplanes from their own countries. They were not bad airplanes, but the American ones were better.
So we certainly have that aspect to it. In Canada TCA/Air Canada was in a rather different situation. There was no airline manufacturing here in the late thirties. There was some after the Second World War, Canadair and the North Star, for example, but by and large, the policy—because it was a crown corporation, owned by the government—was don't get us into trouble, don't embarrass us, don't have deficits, and if you want to buy American or British, you buy the best airliners available.
There was something about the North Star. There was some encouragement to buy it, but TC was involved in the development of the aircraft. They were able to get what they wanted and eventually it proved to be a reliable airplane. TC was also involved in the development of the jetliner by Avro and that didn't pan out, but they tried certainly to keep the airline.... You're an airline. You do the airline stuff. We're the government. We're paying you, but do what you have to do.
