Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the vehicles, there was a supplementary appropriation that was requested by this government in the range of $200,000 for the cost overruns of the vehicles when they were being delivered and constructed. Now, we are in a position of having to delete or take off a lot of bells and whistles, or extra shut-off valves and air hoses and what not, that seem to compromise those vehicles in cold weather.
I would like to ask the deputy minister, exactly what type of insurance or protection does this government have when we have a company providing vehicles and there is a cost overrun? Then, once it is delivered, we find out we have a whole bunch of problems with it. What type of protection do we have? Do we have insurance? Do we have a guarantee? Is it a lifetime guarantee? What type of guarantee do we have that we are not paying for something over and above the original price, where we are having to come forth to this House for supplementary appropriation, and then later finding that there are some major problems with that piece of equipment?
