The Deputy Minister of National Defence, Mr. Fonberg, said to this committee just two or three weeks ago that he and the department are still of the opinion that the sustainment costs, the life-cycle costs, of the F-35 will indeed be a one-to-one ratio with the CF-18.
Do you have any information that may confirm or contradict that in an immediate or current context? I'll just give you the example of the Congressional Budget Office or other accounting bodies or other information that may have been received by the primary driving force behind this, which is the U.S. government. Have we received or should we be aware or consider that the costs may not actually be a direct one-to-one ratio with the CF-18?
