Mr. Speaker, again, the premise of the member's question is completely false, including the cost of this aircraft, which is $9 billion.
With respect to the operational requirements for communications in the north, this aircraft will have state of the art communications. We will not be taking receipt of the aircraft for another five years. We are working closely with the F-35 partners within the consortium to see that it has all of the operational capability for the 21st century.
