Perhaps I'll let my colleague talk to the notion of secrecy and bidding and costs, and those issues, because there are very specific government contracting regulations that apply, which are obviously a framework in which we have to live.
In terms of not releasing the detailed specifics—from my point of view—of the major platforms, some of those requirements are still in the broad option definition phase, and we may have initial indicative estimates of what they might cost. But a significant amount of more work will have to be done.
We will openly consult with industry, whether for shipbuilding or armoured vehicles, and so on, and have been doing so in recent major procurements, much more so than in the past. We have had many events where we've sat down with the shipbuilding companies, for example, on our Halifax-class upgrades, understanding what they can do, when they can do it, and what costs it would entail.
So I think each major platform will go through this process and there will be open, transparent, and competitive events that will make it clear to industry and to Canadians what that requirement is. And as we state them in performance terms, Canadians will actually be able to understand them for a change. And industry will have had a lot of opportunity to contribute to the articulation of that and to compete to deliver that.
In some cases, obviously, they will not necessarily be Canadian primes. We do not build major platforms in this country, but we do build really, really excellent components of major platforms in this country.
