I want to move a motion in relation to the supplementary estimates:
That the Committee request that the Parliamentary Budget Officer provide the Committee with a general analysis, within twenty-one (21) calendar days after the adoption of this motion, in regards to the decision of the Government of Canada to sole-source the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet for National Defence; that this analysis include, but not be limited to the Department of National Defence’s estimates on the coast of the F/A-18 Super Hornet for: a. Acquisition; b. Maintenance, training and operations; c. Lifecycle costs; d. Associated costs of operating a mixed fleet of fighter jets; and That the Committee order the Government of Canada to provide the Committee with electronic copies of the following: 1. All documents that outline acquisition costs, lifecycle costs, and operational requirements associated with the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet; 2. All potential industrial losses if the Memorandum of Understanding in regards to Lockheed Martin’s F-35 JSF program were to be altered and if industrial benefits were to leave Canada.
On that—
