Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, and perhaps it would be helpful if I clarified that there has been a certain degree of I think perhaps misunderstanding. It's not our intention to bundle all of these small ships into a third package. The small ships will be procured on a project-by-project basis as those projects come forward and mature far enough along in their development for us to engage with industry on them.
As Mr. Ring mentioned, we're just about to launch a consultation process for DND's large tugboat requirements. The coast guard also has some very significant requirements, such as lifeboats and such, that will also be coming forward as those projects are developed.
I'm afraid I'm not in a position to be able to give you a more specific timeline for those projects, but there will be extensive consultations with industry, as we have done throughout the process, to ensure that the industry is aware and is provided significant input and advice on how we should proceed.
Perhaps I should also mention that part of the NSPS process was that the two shipyards selected to build our large ships, and their affiliates, will not be participating in any competitions to build the small ships. Supplying those other ships will only be among the other Canadian shipyards.
Michel, did you want to add anything?
