Thanks, Mr. Chair.
It's a fascinating discussion. My analysis concludes that an accelerated timeline introduces bias into the process. We've heard from a number of witnesses throughout this study on the importance of depoliticizing processes, and I worry that this is actually that—politicizing a process.
I'm going to propose a subamendment to Mr. Bezan's amendment that eliminates the final line that he added, which is, “and that the competition be done on an accelerated timeline for competition and delivery of the new Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft;” so it eliminates the part about the accelerated timeline.
We can work on the wording of that.
