Madam Chair, right now I think we are delivering in defence. We have a strong defence record. In terms of what we are in the process of doing, we are moving forward to finalize 88 new fighter jets, we are delivering the first Canadian-built ships in 20 years and we are acquiring six Arctic offshore patrol vessels. We are continuing to deliver in defence. Right now the situation is a strong one, and we will continue to procure in this manner, which is strong.

Mr. Chair, I am going to share my time with the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent. I thank the minister for her work tonight. It is quite a feat to put in all the time and to answer all the questions, and I thank her for that. Andrew Kendrick, a naval architect with 40 years' experience, appeared before committee. His statement was that it costs three to five times the world price and two to four times longer to deliver ships in Canada versus the rest of the world. Does the minister have any comment on that? Has she investigated and verified this to be true, or does she feel we are in line with world price and world delivery?

Mr. Chair, I believe it is in my mandate to work with Canada Post to deliver services that Canadians need and to continue to ensure that those services are delivered in a way that allows Canada Post to be self-sustaining.
