Thanks for the confirmation.

Update: the federal government is scuffing its toes about approving the deal.

They've been talking about this for months, and there was even an Canadian engineer who publicaly quit, citing that he wouldn't work for a US defense company. Many have been comparing the selling of this R&D company to the loss of the Avro Arrow.

There's even a story up today:
