Thank you.
I'm glad you appreciated those comments and the Auditor General's quotes. I thought they were excellent.
Somebody else who made an excellent quote is my honourable colleague across the way, Mr. Pat Martin, when he commented:
You can tell by the enthusiasm from the committee members that we're all as excited about this as a lot of Canadians are, and I think credit goes to all of the actors. Perhaps it is a new standard in how we make major procurements.
Do you think there are any lessons we have learned from shipbuilding strategic procurement, that is, taking this strategy's model and applying it to future procurements? It's something the government hasn't necessarily had top marks on in the past, as far as past procurement.
