Okay John, I think you've made your point. We've cut some latitude to have you pose those questions.
We'll look forward, perhaps, to a brief written response, Mr. Ring. There's no need to write a big essay, but perhaps some brief answers to those questions.
I will simply say thank you very much for a very interesting presentation. You can tell by the enthusiasm from the committee members that we're all as excited about this as a lot of Canadians are, and credit goes to all of the actors. Perhaps it is a new standard in how we make major procurements.
Could I add one question to those put by John?
I'd like to know how much of the money is actually being invested in the shipyards to upgrade the shipyards. What is the federal government's role in the technical upgrading of the shipyards?
