Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Crosby, the estimated cost of the 15 Canadian combat ships that have been ordered from Irving is $56 billion to $60 billion. The Parliamentary Budget Officer doesn't quite agree with that cost estimate. He has pegged its maximum at more than $10 billion.
That being said, what I see is that the delivery date for the first ship has not yet been determined.
When will the first Canadian surface combatant ship be delivered?
