Of course, Madam Chair.
Can the Minister of National Defence tell us why the department did not provide the statement of operational requirements until one month after it announced its decision to purchase the F-35 jets? Why wait one month?

Madam Chair, why did you wait one month after the government announced its decision to purchase the F-35 jets? You waited one month before providing a statement of operational requirements. Why the one-month delay?

Madam Chair, I did not ask about the contents of the letter. I asked why he waited until August 2010.
Business of Supply May 9th, 2012
Madam Chair, I asked why the department waited until August 2010 to provide a statement of operational requirements to the Department of Public Works and Government Services. That was the question.

Madam Chair, I will try again.
You tried to answer the question that I asked earlier, but you did not really succeed. Perhaps you should wait for the translation.

Madam Chair, if he would answer my questions, I would not need to tell him how to answer my questions, as is the case at present.
Why did DND wait until August 2010 to complete a statement of operational requirements for Public Works and Government Services Canada?

Madam Chair, if he does not wish to answer, perhaps he could tell me why his letter, which was addressed to Public Works and Government Services Canada and which requested that the department relinquish its procurement role, did not contain any more details about the specific requirements for the F-35 jets.

Madam Chair, the minister should perhaps clean his ears. My question was clear. I did not ask a question about the current situation and the Auditor General's report. I asked him why, originally, he asked Public Works and Government Services Canada to relinquish its procurement responsibilities for the F-35 jets.

Madam Chair, why did the Minister of National Defence ask Public Works and Government Services Canada to relinquish its procurement role?

Madam Chair, with your permission, I would like to share my time with the hon. member for St. John's East.
