Mr. Chairman, the situation is that there is a challenge in terms of the resources. I said that on many occasions. I could not tell the member the precise figure at this point in time. It is one reason why we are doing a defence review update; to look at all these capabilities and to look at what is affordable.
There is no doubt that we have a larger program right now than for which we have resources. That has been said on many occasions. I cannot quantify it very specifically at this point in time. There have been many different estimates. That is one estimate but that was taken some time ago.
These circumstances change quite frequently, particularly with the additional amount of money that the government provided this year. When it came to the budget in December, $7.7 billion went into security measures and $1.2 billion of that over five years came to the Department of National Defence.
A lot of these changes have been made since the auditor general made her estimate. I will agree, as I said on many occasions, that there are challenges with respect to the resources to this department.
