Thank you for your question.
It's a very good one.
I hesitate to give a specific number, because it's so different, and a lot of times there are commercial sensitivities with some of those numbers.
The assessment level and the amount of work that goes into these procurements, from an industry level, are very significant. When we look at the comparisons between what's happening in Canada and some other countries in the world, for similar-type procurements, the complexity is very high. I think that is adding to a lot the timeline issues we are seeing.
I think there's room for improvement on that. Again, not to sound like a broken record, but that's why we need that strategy in place, to determine exactly what the benefits are, what is required, instead of a piecemeal approach, with every procurement going through a different assessment, different analysis, etc.
I think the development of an aerospace and a defence industrial strategy would take out a lot of that complexity, because government and industry would both have a central point they could look at and then guide a lot of the discussions and the decision-making process there.
