Mr. Chair, the contract structure we have right now is, as the question suggested, that Irving Shipbuilding is the prime contractor and they have subcontracted work through Lockheed Martin for the design of the combat system. While the parent design of the Type 26, which originates in the United Kingdom, will be what we call pulled through— made part of the foundation of the CSC design—the mission systems will be unique to meet Canadian requirements.
We work alongside ISI and their major subcontractors, Lockheed Martin and BAE, in order to find the trade-offs that are required to deliver the ships efficiently and effectively to meet the navy's requirements.
