It would cost a great deal of money, Mr. Moore. First of all, we would have to pay significant damages to the manufacturer, but in addition, I must tell you that we are talking about equipment that the Canadian Forces absolutely need. As you know, we are in a theatre where there are many challenges, in Afghanistan. If the Canadian Forces had had the equipment they so badly needed, equipment they have been calling for for years, we would not be in the situation which we find ourselves in today.
I was explaining to Ms. Thibault the other very negative impact of a hypothetical cancellation, because we are talking about a purely hypothetical cancellation of the contract. The transaction between PWGSC and Boeing is an excellent deal for Canadian taxpayers. We are right to be proud of it and to be proud of the team headed by Mr. Marshall. So for all these reasons, I think cancelling the contract would be disastrous.
