Thank you, Madam Chair. I’d like
to welcome the department here today, bringing forward another supplementary estimates before the House.
Kind of dovetailing on what we’ve heard earlier from Mr. Bouchard regarding the additional costs here for the 802 bombers that we’re purchasing, I tried to pay particular attention to some of the description used earlier as to how come we kind of know this was coming. We know this was a multi-year purchase and that these airplanes are bought in US dollars. That’s a given. That’s how the industry works. But I want to zone in on one of the things that was said today that the deputy minister indicated, “We’re looking for a facility or institution for more certainty.” Can I get an explanation of what that really meant?
