Mr. Speaker, I would like to quote the head of the navy who is a submariner himself. He said that the ships were qualified and fully seaworthy to go out and that they perform a very important function.
On the costs that the member mentioned, $85 million have gone into the sub program over and beyond what we have already put in. That is the investment into these subs that will do an excellent job and have done an excellent job for our navy and for our country.
