Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Pogue, Mr. Cormier, thank you for being here with us today. Your testimony is important, because it will help us to better understand and improve the procurement process, especially in the area of air defence.
Mr. Pogue, Thales secured a contract in 2011 that was later cancelled in 2015. Last year, a new contract for the acquisition of three radar systems was signed with Thales Canada.
Can you tell us why the contract was cancelled in 2015?
