Thank you for that.
Professor Grammond, public procurement is fraught, as well. I'm a commercial litigator myself. I've practised a little bit in the procurement field—not in the national security exception, for sure. Even without the national security issues, those types of procurements and contracts often result in litigation. Unhappy bidders don't think they were treated fairly. Their recourse is to the courts or, in some cases, the tribunal.
Do you see the national security exception as being just another layer of that sort of risk to bidders, or do you actually see widespread abuse of that provision in trying to undercut the commercial interest in getting the supplier that perhaps the government wants?
