General J.M.G. Baril (Chief of the Defence Staff, Department of National Defence): I think you mean that it did not entirely meet the army's original requirements and not that it does not meet all the requirements. We're talking about a difference in lift requirements of a couple of hundred pounds on the helicopter's belly hook. That means a couple of hundred pounds of fuel which reduces its range. Instead of the 100-kilometre range originally asked for, I think it's 45 kilometres. It's a trade-off we had to make.
