The tools and stamps are still available to restart production. But its the preminant air superiority fighter in the world, but its not built to be multirole and that's what Canada needs.

they need an aircraft that can fight in and out of a battlezone and deploy bombs or missiles to support ground troops.

The F-22 would pretty much wipe the sky of any aircraft out there. The Chinese are trying to replicate it with what they are calling a first generation test bed stealth fighter, but from what I've read they are stuggling with the materials that are needed to make the F-22 special.
