Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet
9:00 am
Mr. Maurice Quinn:
In terms of anticipated costs and unanticipated costs, as I explained, we knew what the anticipated costs were for maintenance of the jet, and the point on unanticipated costs would be they are of their nature only going to arise when an asset like a jet is stripped down and when the difficulties were found with it.
