I see that as a strategic flaw in terms of the overall process. We're encouraging the elimination of competition, in many respects. We're also, in my view, facilitating a potential erosion of supporting SMEs to grow, and also domestic industries as well. I see this as a structural problem in the bidding contract that's being proposed. It's one of the reasons it should be immediately revisited, in my opinion, because six to eight years is a long time. It's a long time to eliminate competition and to discourage SMEs from participating in federal procurements of any type.
