Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for being here.
I just want to start off with some broad comments. I have to say it probably won't surprise you that I am a little concerned when there are comments made about contracts the government is undertaking along the lines of it's “a bit more expensive”, or a risk to government, because I am concerned that what that actually means is it's a risk to taxpayers and potentially to future generations. Therefore, if you'd like to comment a little bit more around that concern in your responses, I'd welcome you to take that opportunity.
Mr. Love, given your knowledge and experience with these programs in the past, can you give us more information in terms of your understanding of what investments are picked and what contracts are picked and what the measures for those are, and how the best options are determined?
