These estimates go to cabinet, so there is no reason they shouldn't go to Parliament. If that had been in place, then the government wouldn't have all the embarrassment it had over the cost of replacing our air force. There is a consensus that Canada needs an air force, and everybody realizes that it costs quite a bit of money to equip an air force. So if the forecast that went to cabinet had gone to Parliament when the thing was tabled, we would have all been a lot further ahead. That's all we're suggesting with that.
