I know you've had a number of witnesses who represent industry. Ultimately, each witness represents their own views in terms of fairness. Obviously, my office is responsible for promoting fairness more generally and broadly. What we try to do is essentially ensure that, where there are domestic processes that are allowed to seek only Canadian participants, it is seen as a fair process.
Again, to reiterate the national security exception, when the national security exception is invoked, it does allow for procurements to be limited to domestic capabilities. One thing I will say is that it's incredibly important to understand what those domestic capabilities are. I have heard a number of previous witnesses mentioning the importance of being able to “direct contract”. In order to make those justifications to direct contract and not compete, you need to be fully aware of what exists in terms of the capabilities of the Canadian supplier.
