National Defence committee  We have not gone that far yet. We're at the initial stages. The whole point is to really start at the low level and say, here is the problem. A classic one we put out recently is for gas masks and facial hair. It sounds simple, but it has actually been a problem for a long time,

National Defence committee  It is exciting.

National Defence committee  Thank you, sir, for the question. For the specific trucks we're talking about, the medium support vehicle system, as you indicate, this is the last of the phases. We did a military off-the-shelf variant some years ago, fully delivered for domestic operations. This particular var

National Defence committee  With the specific project for logistics vehicle modernization, we've looked at a couple of options and we've landed on one competition. It could beget a number of separate contracts, though, to look at a fleet of them. We're about to enter what we call the definition phase, wher

National Defence committee  Really, it's up to them, I would say. We're working with the General Dynamics Land Systems. They're also doing work for us. They are updating the last of our light armoured vehicles. We've advanced a fair bit of that work through next year, some in-service support contracts. It i

National Defence committee  For ships, competition was done for the shipyards, which resulted in the umbrella agreements, as you know. If you look at the model we're doing for future fighters, I think the big thing is that we want to make sure we establish value for money and have partners who can really de

National Defence committee  One of the things we're trying to do through ship six and beyond is the approach to the strategy, in this case how we take a more business approach to how we're building ships through the AOPS and into the surface combatants. To your question, the sixth ship is approximately $4

National Defence committee  The fifth ship is more than $400 million. The sixth ship is approximately $400 million, so it is lower in cost, but we're stretching out the whole program by an extra two years.

National Defence committee  We're just delivering the first ship. We're moving to the drumbeat of a ship a year. It's drawing cost in ships two through six. The point is that, in the analysis we've done, not taking action, the delay in surface combatants, and the additional cost of green labour would be thr

National Defence committee  I'll pass this over to the CFO.

November 8th, 2018Committee meeting

Patrick Finn

National Defence committee  Thank you for your question, Mr. Martel. As the minister said, the $360 million set aside includes many things, such as infrastructure. In the immediate future, there will be a maintenance period to ensure that the aircraft have the same configuration as the Canadian aircraft. Th

National Defence committee  In this particular circumstance, as you indicate, we've had other fleets of C-130 aircraft, the ECHO series, that we retired in recent years that had been built in the 1960s. What is very fortunate in this case is that we have been co-operating with our Australian colleagues for

Patrick Finn

National Defence committee  Thank you, sir. What we're trying to do is take a more programmed approach, as opposed to a bunch of stovepipe projects where we start one, we finish one, what do we do...? It's why we're in discussion with Seaspan, the Vancouver shipyard, about what's in the art of the possible

May 29th, 2018Committee meeting

Patrick Finn

National Defence committee  Very quickly, sir, knowing what your time is, I think there are a few projects there that are massive. We have seen this in the past when we built the Canadian patrol frigates. We're about to enter an era where we're starting to build the Canadian surface combatants, as we talked

Patrick Finn

National Defence committee  Sir, they, like us, have put a lot of investment into those aircraft. I sailed on 40-year-old ships that had brand new modern missiles. I think we have to be careful about the age of an aircraft and saying that reflects its capability. They haven't—
