I understand that. I appreciate that.
There's another benefit in the sense that if the Canadian Coast Guard is presented with a particular business concept or innovation, there's an advantage to the Canadian Coast Guard to participate in this because the money actually does not come from the coast guard's A-base. Is that correct? It's Public Works and Government Services' money, which actually raises an interesting question.
If the product was good, and if it is valuable to the Canadian Coast Guard, why couldn't the entrepreneurs simply go to the coast guard and convince them it is really what they needed to buy because it's innovative and will save them money?
I think I'm probably running out of time, but two things to strike me about this. First, it's easier for government departments to participate in this because it does not come out of their A-base, which does raise a question of legitimacy.
Second, does the existence of this program identify a gap in procurement within the Government of Canada, in the sense that if it were easy for a small start-up, entrepreneurial company to do business with the Canadian Coast Guard or the Canadian International Development Agency, or whomever, why couldn't they do it? Why do they need to do it through this program?
