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…
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 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.
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.
