I would tend to agree. In this committee, we've been trying to get this study done for six and a half years now, and we're finally getting it done. When we had the Coast Guard and PSPC, every question was met with “It was COVID”, when asked about the delay and so on.
I have a question for Mr. Perry, and then Mr. Williams, about the issue of the offsets or the ITB. How much is that costing Canadians, perhaps taxpayers? How much less equipment are we getting to our military because we seem to have much more of a focus on ITB and perhaps votes in the area than delivering the best equipment to our military at the best price for our taxpayers?
