Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to begin by commending Mr. Ferguson on the quality of his French. We heard you say you were determined to become fluent in the language of Molière, and today we see you have made great strides. On behalf of all of us, congratulations.
On life cycle, you described the reasons for selecting 36 years as opposed to the previous DND standard of 20 years. Has the Auditor General's office used this longer life cycle framework in previous audits or was this the first time?
