Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to read you a story from Defence Watch, a publication here in this country. This was written about a year and a half ago. It says this:
At a meeting with Air Force officers and defence industry representatives in Ottawa last week
--that was then July 2009--
the extent of the paralysis that plagues a $3 billion Fixed Wing Search and Rescue project was front and centre.
An Air Force officer was running through the various equipment projects on the go while images were projected on to a screen.
When the slide came for FWSAR, the screen was filled with a giant question mark.
That was according to the publication.
The gist of the story is that the day did not go well. There was an air of confusion about it. There were people, from the industry's perspective, coming out saying that they weren't sure what it was and what the timing would be.
What have your dealings been thus far in the communication between you and the government on how you go about this procurement?
