Mr. Speaker, the government will admit no such thing because it is not true.
I guess I cannot blame the hon. member for not anticipating the question preceding, but it is the same question. As I have just explained, the government has adhered religiously to the statement of requirements delivered in 1999. We have heard representations from every company that might be in the bidding process. We have made adjustments to ensure that we get the helicopter faster and at lower risk.
We are deeply committed to carrying out that process as fast as possible.
