I'll question the officials when they come as to what the current status is.
In terms of the MOU in 2006, you believe that DND should have engaged Public Works and Government Services Canada and central agencies before and after signing the MOU, and I certainly understand your position. DND did not do that, and I expect it will have an explanation as to why not. But that being said, that process has certainly started now.
In consideration that nothing has been purchased to date, what are the implications of—for lack of a better word—this delay in terms of starting a process that is more transparent and effective? What does that delay cost the taxpayers? Has there been any cost to taxpayers considering we haven't actually purchased anything yet?
