I have been very clear in my testimony today before the committee, in the House of Commons and in all my opportunities to speak formally about this that I am disappointed by this procurement. In fact, I think there is widespread disappointment across Canada with this procurement. In the areas that I'm responsible for as transport minister, I am ensuring that our procurement is favouring Canadian manufacturers and favouring Canadian steel and Canadian aluminum. That's why I sent out 71 letters in June to the agencies under my authority, saying that this is what we'll be doing.
