What's happened, then, since May 27, when the minister told us that there will be a competitive bidding process for the acquisition of new aircraft, so that we're now where we are? I mean, if this decision was made in 2002, what decision was made in July that was announced to the public that all of a sudden we're talking about cancellation costs and this type of thing?
Frankly, I'm confused, and I believe Canadians looking at this or hearing about this will be very confused. We thought we had a decision made in July. I thought the minister told us there was going to be a competitive bidding process on May 27, and now you're telling us there are cancellation fees going back to an agreement signed in 2006.
I think the public deserves a better explanation than that, frankly.
