If I could, Mr. Chair, I'll respond on behalf of Global Affairs on this one.
Global Affairs does have a procurement team, so we have some insight into procurement here, although this was done by PSPC on our behalf. Employees often don't feel empowered to challenge policy—I'm saying this as a public servant of almost 40 years—especially at the levels where these decisions and these reviews are made, and they, again, do yeoman's work. They're bright people, hard-working people, and they apply what they apply at the time. They follow the paradigm that is dictated often by policy, and they did a great job of applying the policy.
What we were able to do with the Deloitte report and our subsequent conversations with the CSE and others, is to say that there's a different way to look at this equipment. We're going to be buying this for 10 to 15 years. We need to future-proof this against future threats, which we cannot anticipate right now. We need to look at this differently, not at the present with the policies that exist, but looking forward. Deloitte helped us do that.
