Thank you, Chair.
When Mr. Dan Ross was here, he told us that within DND you have a very rigorous system of management review of decisions, and there are two or three review boards. He told us in no uncertain terms that these were significant challenges to any decisions that were being made, that they gave everybody a hard time, and that it was a real test of decision-making and a value for—we should have some confidence, I guess, that the decision-making wasn't happening on a less than rigorous basis.
Then we find that, according to the Auditor General, those management review boards were bypassed or ignored in the case of the Chinook purchase, and the chief of review services now says that in terms of the activity to date on the search and rescue project, they weren't followed either. You told us today, and you've made reference to it—I don't want to misquote you—that there has been or there will be a form of this with respect to the F-35. But why aren't these systems being used? And what confidence can we have, frankly, that there is going to be a value with respect to these decisions that have been made with respect to the F-35 to date and in the future?
