Thanks, Chair.
I just want to get on the record that while I totally agree that all documents presented before a parliamentary committee should be in both official languages—that's a given, and I accept that, and I agree with that, frankly—I want to point out that there has been a myriad of requests about more information regarding the purchase of the F-35s. As the chair pointed out, I think, unless I heard incorrectly, this information is relatively new to the government. It was compiled from nations like the United States and other primarily English-speaking nations.
There's no insult here. I sense the tone from people saying that this was disrespectful to the committee.
I think this was just an attempt to say there has been information requested and we've received some; it's not in both official languages, but if you'd like to get your hands on these documents and start examining them--as you have been requesting for months now--they are available to you.
That, I think, is the point the chair was trying to make. Certainly it's the government's position that if you want to see the information, it's available. If you don't want to see it until it's translated, fine; your will will be done.
