Thank you.
I don't know if I'll be quite as colourful, but I would like to begin by noting that, certainly, the multidepartmental approach to procurement has been in place for a long time, I think over 50 years, so it's quite an ingrained system.
With that in mind, Mr. Williams, you have many ideas on defence procurement and how it can be improved. I'm interested to know if these discussions and suggestions were part of your work when you were an employee of the public service.
