It was absorbed by Bombardier after the government sold it.

They did license and build the CF-5 and the tutor.

The CF-5 was an interest plane that was really not well suited to any role it was made to be cheap had poor sensors and fire control didn't carry a very good load.

But it was a pilots dream, but overmatched by nearly every other pane at the time
