Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Mr. Minister. In your statement you said that:
Under the Defence Production Act, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services has exclusive authority to procure military goods.
You also said the following:
In short, while DND has the authority to decide "what" it needs, the responsibility for contracting for those needs rests with PWGSC.
With this in mind, when the press conference was held at Trenton regarding the C-17s, you were unable to say how this contract had been allocated in Canada. That was several weeks ago.
Could you tell us about the spinoffs of this contract?
