Auditor General of Canada, Office of the Auditor General of Canada

I think, for the record, I will read the section of the report that deals with that. It is paragraph 2.82, which says,

2.82 Both National Defence and Public Works and Government Services Canada disagree with our conclusion that they did not demonstrate due diligence in their respective roles in the replacement of the CF-18 jets. The departments believe that the level of due diligence was appropriate within the time frame covered by this audit.

I think that responds to the honourable member's question.
