Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Mr. Giroux, to our committee again.
Not only at the outset, but also through this last hour or so, it's become quite clear that we can't use the $1.3 billion as a base of comparison, at least because we have very little data for it. Therefore, the only number that we could use, based on the methodology that you used, is the $7.25 billion. If you bring it down to the same level, one ship would be $3.5 billion or $3.6 billion. Since we don't have a comparison, we can't compare the bases.
Let me start by asking you why you picked these three ships. You talked about one being American. You also talked about two being Canadian. You commented on their size and their purpose.
Can you expand on that?
