I read the minister's speech at CANSEC. She talked about collaboration. One of the issues that I keep hearing on the street is that PSPC has this commercial, off-the-shelf culture and DND has a customization culture. What are we doing to ensure that, at the lower level, there's greater collaboration early on, at the start? I think that was actually highlighted by the Auditor General's report in 2012 on the F-35. He said at the time that PWGSC, at the time, was not made aware of this early on in the process.

What do we do to ensure there's greater collaboration between PSPC and DND at an early stage?
