Mr. Chair, at this point, we're forecasting the delivery of the first Canadian surface combatant in the early 2030s.
To come back to the question of cost and the situation of where we are right now with the procurement, we aren't actually on contracts for the construction of any of the ships yet. Those are contracts that have yet to be negotiated and put into place, so there remains cost uncertainty there.
As you'd appreciate, when we're talking about the timing scales and various economic factors that are taken into consideration, there remains uncertainty in the overall program cost for the Canadian surface combatant project, which includes not just the 15 ships. It includes all of the program management costs, weapons and infrastructure.
