Thanks, Madam Chair, and thanks to both Ministers for the explanation. That’s pretty much what I had understood. I guess the Minister of Finance has suggested that they wanted to make these positions more visible; well, they’ve become extremely visible at this point. Putting them in in sort of a manner that suggests you’re trying to slide something under the table has highlighted it for a lot of Members. I’m not suggesting that anything underhanded was done, by the way.
With regard to the ENR contracts and the fire suppression, the Minister stated that most of these contracts are front-end loaded because fire season starts at the beginning of our fiscal year, but I didn’t really hear an explanation as to why, for instance with aircraft contracts, we need to pay those contracts 100 percent at the beginning of our fiscal year. Is that the case? Do we give the contractor for these aircraft 100 percent of the value of the contract at the beginning of the year? Thank you.
