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’re a sovereign country and we make our own decisions. And they’re thoughtful decisions.
Everybody's pushing to get these airplanes moved from where they are now to the end user.
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.
