Hopefully, the attention you say you plan to give the file will translate into a quick response. There are many of us wondering what's going on.
Furthermore, you said one of the government's priorities was Canada's presence in the Arctic and its capability to secure that presence. You said we needed to have the capability to deliver on that priority for the sake of our northern sovereignty. Since the program to acquire and build Arctic/offshore patrol ships is already five years behind schedule, you'll forgive me for questioning that priority.
Does the Department of National Defence anticipate further delays? Do you know how much that five-year delay has cost? We really need those ships.
