No, and, if the federal government (civil servants and DND leaders) had, for the last 40 years, developed and proposed to industry segments in which Canada must develop and retain sovereign industrial capabilities, put in place the financial and R&D plans to get real exportable products and guided industry to develop alliances with players in other countries (in return for government assistance Bombardier should have been under no illusions as to what was expected of them, including putting in place the proper governance), the recent situation in which Canada too often is reduced to buy foreign-made second hand stuff could be avoided. To put it bluntly, Canada packs much less punch in the critical defense technologies than much smaller countries such as Norway and Sweden, amongst others. Those countries and others did not get there because their governments adopted a holier than thou attitude. It is the job of national governments to protect sovereignty, including in industrial terms.
