Okay.

Hopefully we'll hear from the Minister of National Defence at this committee, but I guess we'll see.

In point 7 of your opening comments, you talk about “Working from estimates of contracted sustainment costs over 36 years provided by the Joint Strike Fighter Program Office...”.

I understand we're signatories on that joint strike fighter program office, and that that office uses 36 years. Why didn't the Government of Canada use 36 years?
