Thank you for that excellent question.
As the minister said, before you actually get into a contract, we have reversed the process. She said that before we would have put out a request for proposal, gone through a fair bit of the long tortuous process, and found out only at that point what industry capability was. Often we had examples where it led to situations where the capability, what the government was looking to procure, didn't fit the budget. It led to a number of failed procurements.
By doing the industry engagement up front, and there's been extensive industry engagement, and I'll use again the Arctic offshore patrol vessel as an example. By doing that up front, it leads to a far more realistic request for proposal that actually aligns with what industry capability is, reflects industry advice, and ensures that we end up with capability on budget.
On your issue of the subcontractors, one of the main features of the policy is that everything will be competed. There may be some aspects where for a particular reason there's only one possible manufacturer, but the philosophy of the national shipbuilding strategy is that when you proceed and you get into the subcontracts, all of them will be competitive processes unless there is a very overpowering reason not to do that.
The other thing—
