First of all, I want to build on the point that the deputy minister was trying to make. All of the subject matters of the contracts were in relation to corporate improvement, improvements in the way in which the institutions function. This was not a matter of state secrets being provided.
What types of activities were at the heart of these agreements? They were benchmarking data, HR and culture, and digitization of resources. In particular, I think this would be a useful moment to ask Admiral Topshee if he could explain. This might elucidate the point we're trying to make here: that this is in terms of improving the functionality of an organization that has been criticized for not functioning efficiently and for not functioning well.
The services that were contracted for were complementary in nature, where conflicts of interest screens were in place and where measures were being taken at all times to ensure the confidentiality of secret information.
