Mr. Collins, I am wondering about a few things in the strategy.
At this point, for the 15 Canadian surface combatant ships, which will cost from $56 billion to $60 billion, no delivery date has been determined. Add to that the price of the two Arctic and offshore patrol ships—AOPS—, which we still don't know, despite the fact that the company building them has already built six. The current cost of these two Coast Guard vessels is said to be $1.5 billion.
As far as the small multipurpose and coastal patrol vessels go, we don't know their delivery date or their cost.
Does it concern you that we're missing so much information? After all, we're talking about our territorial sovereignty.
The chair tells me we're out of time, so you're going to have to respond to me in writing.
