Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to come back to the comments made earlier by Lieutenant-General Deschamps.
I consulted my team, Lieutenant-General. And I never said that I didn't have confidence in you. What is important to me is to do my job as MP as effectively as possible. I want to make sure that taxpayers are getting fair value for their dollars and that they have the best aircraft. That is the issue. You said that, if I was given the job, I wouldn't know what to do. That's probably true. I probably wouldn't have access to National Defence computers. Furthermore, I certainly don't have the knowledge of a general with 25 or 30 years' experience.
However, General, you need to understand that we have a specific role. In this case, we need to ensure that citizens and taxpayers get fair value for their money and get the best planes. That is why I will keep at it at the risk of making you uncomfortable.
Colonel Burt, you said earlier that there are only a few people in the world with access to this level of classification. I would like to know whether you, Colonel, or you, Lieutenant-General, have that access.
