I will be brief.

I move that the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates request an appearance from the National Fighter Procurement Secretariat to discuss their objectives and plans in relation to the purchase of replacement aircraft for the CF-18.

To me this is a no-brainer. This is a huge issue. There's been a lot of controversy about it. It is part of government operations, so I think it would be quite normal and in order for us, as a committee, to request the presence and testimony of this group.
