Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would just like to follow up on a couple of the questions I started on, because I don't think we had adequate time to get the question answered totally.
I think the whole issue of moving from a culture of technical specifications to performance specifications is a great one. I'm just wondering if I could ask Madame Saint Pierre if it's possible that this shift in moving from technical specifications to performance standards could be used in other departments in their procurement activity in order to speed up the process. It would also reduce the number of times that the specifications are so technically rigid that they unintentionally eliminate some of the people who would be in line to qualify as tenderers for the materiel.
This is a bit out of the defence strategy, but I think it's part of the ongoing study that our committee is doing.
