Bombardier should offer
Bombardier should offer Global 6500 as VIP travel for CAF to replace aging A310 that is use for PM travel, and all older Challenger jets used by various Politician and department heads domestically on top of Surveillance aircraft based on Global 6500. Global 6500 has the range to travel international flights to replace the A310.
Having common fleet for VIP travel and Surveillance aircraft will reduce fleet complexity and crew/maintenance commonality will save hundreds of millions over the life of the aircraft.

These will be used for air refueling and troop transport. Using them as PM transport is taking away from war fighter. Five is barely enough to support operational needs, taking them out for VIP is only going to short change the CAF. PM is already using challenger jet for North America flights, if they had the range they would use it for Europe as well.
