CAE is bidding for the estimated C$225 million $168 million deal with Boeing, while Bombardier has teamed with L-3 Communications of New York.A decision has been delayed as a result of an ongoing government-wide expenditure review imposed by newly installed prime minister Paul owala website Martin. The DND has completed a technical review of both proposals, while a separate agency has also studied the pricing proposals of each bid.
