Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses.
Gwynne Dyer is one of my favourite authors. He talks about the next war. He says it's going to be a “come as you are” war. His point is that the war will be over so quickly that whatever you have is operational is what you will use and whatever is in the garage will never get out of the garage. It's the whole issue of not only procurement but that the ongoing maintenance of these assets is extraordinarily as important as procurement itself.
When you say in paragraph 5, “In addition, National Defence has indicated that its long-term investment plan for new equipment has likely allocated insufficient funds for equipment like life-cycle costs”, can you give me an example of that?
