Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and through you, thank you to all of the witnesses who have come to see us today to answer questions.
I will ask all of my questions, with all due respect, to the witnesses. But I do hope that the witnesses appreciate that this committee has a role in our system of government and that members of this committee would like some very specific answers to some very specific questions. I seek the chair's support for that.
Mr. Fantino, first off, I know that you like to answer questions in a broad way. But I have some very specific questions for you today on the F-35. The first, sir, is whether the cost of the F-35 was discussed at your meeting in Washington 10 days ago.
