Mr. Speaker, I can assure the member that we will continue to respect the principles of industrial benefit within Canada. We will at the same time respect our trade agreements and ensure that our Canadian armed forces have the best possible equipment for the best possible value for the Canadian taxpayer. At the same time, we will ensure that regional industrial benefits are there for all regions of the country, including Quebec.
