Comparing PBO and DND cost estimates on Canada's proposed acquisition of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter : some preliminary questions and answers on key issues / prepared by Peter Weltman and Tolga Yalkin.YN5-103/2011E-PDF

"While DND has briefly provided the bureaucratic process it may follow regarding the F-35 procurement, it has yet to provide the key details of its methodology, assumptions, uncertainties, or risks associated with its figures. Nonetheless, the PBO has attempted to provide a response to some of the issues raised by DND with respect to differences in estimates. Parliament must have access to financial data and analysis to support it in fulfilling its constitutional mandate to manage the public purse. To support Parliament in satisfying its constitutional mandate, this short paper addresses some of the key concerns or issues raised by DND with respect to the PBO’s forecast." - p.ii.
