The model is that of a team, where the Department of National Defence provides the general project management contribution, and articulates the requirements,
the needs of the members of the Canadian Forces.
The Department of Public Works manages and provides a service for the specific contracting piece, the detailed expertise of the request for proposals evaluation, and the management of the contract. The Department of Industry provides services to look at the broader economic impact, regional economic benefits, and the development of certain technology sectors with other industries, etc. It contributes that to the team. We work with the central agencies that provide a challenge function and an oversight function to satisfy the requirements for due diligence and good stewardship, etc.
So in my view it is an effective team approach.
