Government Operations committee  The Coast Guard and we will be negotiating. It will be a cost reimbursable, with an incentive scheme much like the first six ships to incentivize the yard to deliver on time and on budget.

Government Operations committee  There was a significant gap between the end of production of our Arctic offshore patrol ship and the start of the surface combatants. There have been a number of measures to close that gap, all of which together are such that we are at a point now where there will not be massive

Government Operations committee  There is a cost avoidance associated with.... There are three benefits for Canada. First of all, there are six Arctic offshore patrol ships for the Canadian navy. It also brings two ships to the Coast Guard earlier than any other way we could have made possible, but there's also

Government Operations committee  We know the work program that Vancouver Shipyards has to deliver on, and it includes the polar icebreaker. As you may know, they are moving forward right now with two deliveries of the fisheries science vessel this year, and the third one next year. The attention now is fully on

Government Operations committee  We have a timeline in the sense—

Government Operations committee  We have a timeline in the sense that the delivery of the polar icebreaker will follow the delivery of the second JSS.

Government Operations committee  The design work for that will start as we finish the OSV.

Government Operations committee  We have an idea.

Government Operations committee  Following the delivery of JSS which is in 2024-25.

Government Operations committee  Yes, we have. In fact, construction already started on the blocks last year.

Government Operations committee  Absolutely, and as Mr. Vandergrift just mentioned, the resequence will lead the shipyard in Canada to focus its attention on finishing the design work on the joint supply ships so we can start full production—

Government Operations committee  We have cost estimates for all the vessels. One of the reasons, I think, as Mr. Vandergrift mentioned, there was logic in changing the sequence was to allow for the oceanographic science vessel...so we can mature the design to remove some of the risks. In fact, we can see a pot

Government Operations committee  You mentioned the next major procurement, the future air crew training which is basically to replace the pilot training contracts that we have in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and in Southport, Manitoba, and also some of the training that occurs in Winnipeg by the air force, by one la

Government Operations committee  I would like to clarify that the location of the training will not change. However, all contracts will be combined into a single training system for all pilots. When we reach the point of determining the contractual requirements of the entrepreneurs who are interested, we will ce

Government Operations committee  I would say that they are not exactly the same, but, having been involved in the maritime helicopter project myself with the national shipbuilding strategy, I think they're of the same kind. They're not exactly the same, but I think they're both very useful in the sense that they
