Thank you, Chair.
For the benefit of members and some of the work we have done, I want to put on the record that a page of the Auditor General's report says there was a review of all the agencies to see if they were doing security checks on contracting, and the only one that was doing it was the RCMP, so we have to give them their due where we can.
This is my second point. Deputy, with regard to your opening comments, I want to tell you how impressed I was, particularly that you caught on to this really quickly, when you were being briefed, as to where your priorities were. You got on top of this before the report was tabled, and you put in your comments, additional steps that you have taken, which is very impressive, and you didn't go out of your way to tell us how wonderful everything is and that this was a minor exception. This was a big deal, and you dealt with it that way. I, for one, am very pleased with the way you have approached this, notwithstanding the grilling we're putting you through today, but given the importance, I think you will appreciate that.
I don't want to belabour this one to death, but there are a couple of little things that concern me.
Major-General, how long was the delay and how much was the cost as a result of that delay, and how much was the cost of the modifications to the NORAD facility?
