I would like to respond.

There are two corporations that we currently represent. We represent workers at A J Walter, which was a subsidiary that was sold off from Aveos during the bankruptcy, and we also represent Lockheed Martin. We just came through negotiations with both of these corporations.

A J Walter operates here in Canada and actually had a small profit this year. Although Lockheed Martin didn't have profits, they are competitive, and they can compete here in Canada on engine work.
