I am interested, Madam Chairman. It is important because it is about training. The chief of the air staff has said that it would be unacceptable to reduce the flying time for the Aurora to less than 11,500 hours. It is now down to 8,000 hours per year and it started at 19,200 hours when the government came to power.
For the record, other than the Victoria class submarines, how many warships have been ordered by the government since 1993? We presently have two operational support ships. How many did we have when the government took office? The navy has a plan for a minimum of three and preferably four new operational support ships. How will the government afford this program and where does it stand in the approval process?
