I can't honestly think of a better divestiture.

There's jobs in the aerospace industry. We desperately need more firefighting capacity pretty much everywhere ... whether it be Canada, Europe, Australia, the U.S. You can't have too many of these assets.

We don't want to hang on to these things any longer than we have to. They cost money just sitting there. They're needed doing the firefighting role.

Everybody's pushing to get these airplanes moved from where they are now to the end user.

Canada’s got great capability and capacity that I think we’ve largely ignored over the years, and we’re not in a position to do that anymore, so we’re not going to do it.

We’re a sovereign country and we make our own decisions. And they’re thoughtful decisions.

We’ll go from two qualified suppliers to a preferred supplier, and the government of Canada will enter into contract negotiations with the preferred supplier so we can turn lots of MOUs and promises into tangible outcomes for Canada.

Submarines are a massive deterrent. Any kind of top-tier military on the planet has a submarine capability.

This project is part of a broader effort to build an integrated Arctic surveillance and communications network that will strengthen Canada's ability to monitor, understand and respond to activity in the Arctic.
