We were making this recommendation because we feel that OSME under PWGSC would have to go up to bat against their colleagues in procurement. Under Industry, I think there would be a separation of that colleague environment; they wouldn't have to go to bat against their boss. Obviously, within PWGSC, OSME would have to speak out against their colleagues and the people they report to. We would like to see that separated out to Industry Canada so there isn't that butting of heads within the same organization.
