Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My first question is for the Treasury Board secretary.

In his remarks to our committee just before you arrived, the Parliamentary Budget Officer stated that he followed Treasury Board guidelines when he decided to choose a 30-year life cycle, and he implied that DND may not have followed Treasury Board guidelines when they chose a 20-year life cycle.

Could you please clarify what the Treasury Board guidelines are for the life cycle?
