Government Operations committee Mr. Chair, the procurement process and the proposal that was provided by Airbus included the cost of these modifications, which go beyond the ones I've described to date and include bringing mission systems specific to the fixed-wing search and rescue role [Inaudible—Editor] sear

Government Operations committee The cost for the program delivery is part of the contract.
March 22nd, 2022Committee meeting
Troy Crosby
Government Operations committee The cost of any modifications or testing followed by modification would be with Airbus. Of course, we continue to invest time and effort in the process and we want to see it conclude as quickly as possible.

March 22nd, 2022Committee meeting
Troy Crosby

Troy Crosby
Government Operations committee Mr. Chair, I think I can help with a quick response there. The bands of potential build costs are meant to inform where the investment could lie, but until we move further through the process, the exact figures will continue to mature.

National Defence committee No. The maintenance will be done in Canada. Some of the materiel will be returned to the original equipment manufacturers, wherever they happen to be, whether that's in the U.S. or elsewhere, because that's where the expertise lies. However, the touch labour, the ongoing labour a

National Defence committee Sure. Quickly I would bring COVID, of course, into the conversation. As well, though, we have challenges with industry's capacity at times to move programs forward.
