Thank you.
Thank you to all the witnesses who are present for this testimony.
I would like to start with Mr. Shimooka.
In May 2019 the Macdonald-Laurier Institute published a report you authored entitled “The Catastrophe: Assessing the Damage from Canada’s Fighter Replacement Fiasco”. In it you note that the “current Liberal government’s partisan handling of the fighter replacement file brings new levels of unethical incompetence to this dismal history”.
Seven years have passed. What would you say now? Has it gotten worse? Has it been better? What is it now?
