Thank you.
In budget 2010, wages were frozen, but wage increases had already been negotiated. My understanding is that those extra funds came out of O and M, the operations and maintenance budget, creating a cumulative $355-million recurring hole in Defence's O and M budget. There was also a strategic review in 2011 that added a further $1 billion in cuts, much of which went into operations and maintenance. Then the deficit reduction action plan added a further $1 billion. Suffice it to say that this has had a major impact on O and M, an 18% or $1.4-billion reduction since the government's defence plan was put in place.
How does that affect the ability of Canada to provide DART for this situation?
