Thank you for that.

I'm going to switch over to you, Mr. Nossal. On July 16, 2010, the Harper government announced that it would spend $9 billion to acquire a new fleet of 65 F-35s in an untendered, sole-sourced contract. Upon being elected in 2015, our government decided to commit to a new competitive bidding process. Do you think this was the right decision?
