I greatly appreciate our analyst's reminder. The procurement process for small and medium-sized enterprises is extremely important, but we must also focus on Canadian corporations and not American corporations with their headquarters in Canada. That is an extremely important aspect.
Not a week goes by where we don't buy military equipment. All of DND's military procurement is beyond parliamentarians' control. I want us to make sure that this procurement complies with standards, since many of these projects are not worth much. Just think about the infamous submarines. It would appear that could recur in the case of some aircraft or helicopters.
I think it is important to take the time to examine all of that, given the amounts that are at stake.
