Mr. Speaker, I think the Minister of National Defence already answered that it was a cabinet decision. This is a very unique and modern project that will allow the private sector to work co-operatively with the government.
Let me inform the House that this project was announced in November. The Reform Party has just woken up now because of a newspaper story. My department and my officials offered the Reform critic the opportunity to view all the books to see how this was done. This is a new concept and everything was done in an open manner.
