It was pretty basic information for which I was asking, Mr. Minister. I will go on. I think I have established that the answer is a $700 million increase in the budget base over the five years. That is a change from the base of one year compared to five years from now, and I believe that is accurate. It is what the Conference of Defence Associations has said and that is the number we come have up with.
Mr. Minister, what is the present shortage in the operations budget of the Canadian forces?
