Thank you, Mr. Chair.
While reiterating my admiration for what men and women in uniform are doing in Afghanistan, I note that we have four cases done by the audit that we need to look at. The deputy minister said they have been successfully delivered, and I want to thank you for the clarification you have given in the case of VBL and SAT, about the fact that the cost doubled and that it was not necessarily the option that should have been considered.
I would like to speak about the delay.
Equipment needed to be operational and on the ground by February 2008, but the process was not completed in 2009. Could you remind me when the vehicles were operational and on the ground?
