The government officials, I believe, should be there to manage the machinery of the process. Notwithstanding a lot of challenges, which is a whole other discussion, I believe they're doing the best they can in the circumstances. Where we start to see the interface with the political, and where it is unhelpful, is when it starts to affect, ultimately, some of the larger decisions that then affect the timeliness and potentially the budget or the broad capabilities that go into these major programs.
When the political processes delay decision-making, that costs taxpayers money. Even just for inflationary reasons, they cost money, but a number of other drivers result in the fact that with these programs, the later they are, the more they ultimately cost. Even if it's not just about costs, it's the capability that's supposed to be delivered in a timely fashion and that's not getting to the women and men who need it.
