Mr. Chair, our relationship with the U.S. is even further enhanced because we are doing things around the world together. We are engaging with them on operations. I had many opportunities to go to the Pentagon and had many opportunities for myself and officials to discuss many things with them.
One report that is also very important is the Auditor General's report on the previous government's handling of the future fighter program. That report shows how important it was for us to take those recommendations so that we can have an open and transparent competition that is going to work. The previous government had 10 years to replace the fighter jets and it did not. We will.
