Defence Construction Canada is within Public Services and Procurement's portfolio. It is the organization that would undertake the construction for National Defence. It has specific authorities under the Defence Production Act and reports up through the responsible public services and procurement minister.
One thing I will say about the costs with respect to infrastructure speaks to the 50% fidelity that we had back in 2019. There are quite a few secure requirements that all members of the F-35 joint strike fighter program have to meet. It is not until you make a purchase decision and inform the joint program office of that purchase decision that you're able to receive a lot of the information around infrastructure. That is part of the reason we didn't have that information in 2021 and towards the end of 2022.
Once you make the procurement decision, you're then able to receive a lot more information on infrastructure and other highly complex requirements that allow you to have greater fidelity of costing.
Thank you.
