Mr. Michael Slack (F-35 Project Manager, Director of Continental Materiel Cooperation, Department of National Defence) at the National Defence Committee

Thank you, Mr. Ross.

The reality is that if we do withdraw from the current MOU, we will have to negotiate a withdrawal fee with all the other partners. What that fee would be would be determined by negotiations with the other partners, but there certainly would be a cost associated with the withdrawal from the MOU.
