Mr. Chairman, I would speak just very briefly to this and then turn it over to the assistant deputy minister of materiel, who has a very close working relationship with the joint project office.
Just on one point you raised, on the issue of the variant, I think there has been a lot of confusion. Of three variants of this aircraft, Canada is buying the one that is most advanced in its flight testing, in the conventional take-off and landing, which is tracking very well in its flight testing and will be the cheapest of the three models.
A lot of people use averages of the three models and various other numbers. The joint project office's number, which they send to Congress and which has been consistent, for the variant we would buy in the years we would buy it, was $75 million, the unit recurring flyaway cost in the SAR 2009, in that report. That number in the latest report, which we'll build our estimates off, is up around $85 million. But I would ask the ADM Materiel—so our acquisition envelope, fixed at $9 billion—to speak to the issue of how the estimates for in-service support and operating will be firmed up as we go forward.
