Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for joining us today.
Mr. Page, thank you for your report. There is clearly an issue with transparency when it comes to data. You have even deemed that issue to be unacceptable. In the latest report, the Auditor General criticized the government for its poor management of the F-35 procurement process. He downright accuses the government of misleading Parliament about the program's cost and of wanting to award the contract to a single provider to replace the aging CF-18s without asking for approval or the required preliminary documents.
Do you agree with the Auditor General's assessment of how the F-35 issue was handled?
