Okay. I'll ask the question and I'll let the minister decide.
Last week, in committee, the Norwegian secretary of state for defence testified that Norway intended to purchase F-35s. However, while answering a question, some discrepancies in the numbers came up. Apparently the Norwegians are getting 52 F-35s for $10 billion, while we're getting 65 for $9 billion. If these numbers are correct, we seem to be getting a far better deal. The secretary of state also stated that the lifetime cost would be $40 billion. That is for 52 planes whereas our estimate of the lifetime cost is $30 billion. Again, there's an incredible discrepancy.
I'm wondering if someone at this table can inform the committee as to why there is this huge discrepancy in these costs.
