Thank you, Chair.

Good day to you, minister. Good day to your colleagues as well.

My question is simple. It's timely. The Parliamentary Budget Officer noticed a piddling $15‑billion discrepancy in the Department of National Defence's budget. The Globe and Mail published an article on this yesterday. Can you please explain how such a thing can happen? We're not talking about $15 million, but rather $15 billion.
