Mr. Chairman, there is a report that has been noted within the department that deals with the Challenger fleet and its capabilities. It talks about its safety and its reliability and affirms that is the case.
As I said a few moments ago, the reason they were purchased was to upgrade the fleet's capacity in terms of fuel efficiency, fuel capacity and ability to fly non-stop to Europe which is a time saver. It is not a matter of the older ones not being able to perform a function. It is a matter of an upgrade. It was a decision of the government to have that upgrade carried out. It is not adding two aircraft. It is replacing two aircraft with new ones that can go farther and operate more efficiently.
