Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would confine my comments to say that I'm very pleased with the process that's now in place, in that it's a whole-of-government approach. The Canadian armed forces have one of those seven-point steps that's been outlined for the Public Works secretariat, and that is to provide advice on the options that come forward.
I think, by and large, when such a significant decision is being made regarding purchase of a fleet that will be with us for at least a generation and a half, perhaps more, all Canadians will have a chance to be comfortable that Canadian taxpayers' dollars are going to be used in the right way.
