Perhaps I'll be a little clearer in this sense. I and the department work very closely with Public Works on these procurement issues, and it's not confined to closed combat vehicles. We're working very closely on the subject of helicopters as well, which received quite a bit of attention earlier this year.
That being said, I want you to know that all of these certainly have my attention and the attention of the department, and again, we are working on these with Public Works, and will continue to, to make sure we get the appropriate equipment for our men and women in uniform and that we get equipment that works for the needs of the Canadian Armed Forces at the best value for Canadian taxpayers.
So while I'm not making any announcements today, we'll make sure we contact your office whenever announcements are made on anything in the area of procurement, and, Mr. Chairman, we will certainly keep you informed on these. But we have to make sure on all of these that we basically make the right decision, and again, we're working very closely with Public Works on these.
