He will recall there was a lot of frustration on the part of members at the lack of detail and clarity on timeframes for delivery and costs. We had indicated then that we would seek to have him back some time early this year. We left it until July and here we are now. We are hoping that we would have some clarity on costs and timeframes. However, it is disappointing that, according to the opening statements from the Department and from Mr. Gunning, we will not be in a position to get answers to those questions. Nonetheless, I will attempt to get as much information as I can.

On timeframes for delivery, we know from the last time Mr. Gunning was here and from previous hearings that the contracted completion date was August 2022. Is that correct?
