The motion, Mr. Chairman, is:
That, in light of recent revelations that the Department of National Defence has secretly leased and operated a fleet of Mi-17 helicopters in Kandahar province, the Minister of National Defence be asked to appear before this committee immediately following the conclusion of its study into the purchase of next-generation fighter jets to answer questions pertaining to the aforementioned contract and other unannounced contracts entered into by the Department of National Defence in support of the Canadian Forces mission in Afghanistan.
The intent of the motion is to deal with the amount and the process. That's my position.
