Thank you.
In your report, one of the concerns expressed is that these budgets have been “treated as a maximum by National Defence”. You expressed concerns about this being a developmental project and yet the absence of risk mitigation to deal with escalating costs.
This brings me to my great curiosity about this report. In the conclusions, and the fact that both National Defence and Public Works disagree with the conclusions of the report, you set out, in my view, a scathing report on the absence of due diligence within those departments.
How are we to reconcile the facts as laid out in this report with the fact that National Defence and Public Works are saying, “It's not our responsibility; it wasn't us”? Where do we go with that? Whose responsibility is it, then?
