Mr. Speaker, the answer is still the same. The amount that I gave at the time was the cost of the mission at that particular moment.
Let me read from the transcript. I went on to say, “I'm giving you that number with the proviso that there could be more costs that come in after the fact. The fact that we are now ramping down the mission, bringing back significant equipment and personnel, some 650 were there, we have a ship in the area, we have aircraft, fighter aircraft, patrol aircraft, refuellers.”
All of this is on the record. All of this is missing from the accusations coming from the members opposite and conveniently from one of the networks that reported this.
