Profiteering was a significant problem during the First World War. I'm hearing concerns that Irving Shipbuilding Inc. is poised to make extraordinary profits under the monopoly it has in shipbuilding, and it will make profit on top of profit under the program. This is a concern to all taxpayers, especially when we're talking about a $100-billion program. By the end of this week, can you table with the clerk the allowable profit that Irving is eligible to make on the AOPS and the CSC projects? I do not mean the specific contract amount but the range that it's eligible to make.
