These are fair comments. I appreciate that, Chair.
I am addressing page 3 of the deputy minister's report here, where he talks about “the need to ensure value for money, flexibility and economic benefits for Canadians”, and at the bottom of it he says, “what kind of life-cycle maintenance is required”.
Trying to get to the bottom of exactly what's happening at the minister's office and what's happening at the deputy minister's office, I find there is a complete disconnect here. We are just looking for the economic estimates of what this will cost: the training, the new technicians and pilots, the maintenance, and so on.
I'll end my comments with that. If you have anything to add, go ahead, Mr. Forster.
