Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Fortier, for being here today. I appreciate your presence, giving us an opportunity to clarify some things that have happened in the past and hopefully to improve the way procurement is done in the future.

I'd like to start by talking a little bit about the advance contract award notice, the ACAN, that was used for the Boeing C-17. Is the ACAN the same as a sole-source contract? Can you elaborate a little bit about how the ACAN works?
