Let me just circle back to something you said about transparency and accountability. Obviously, those are very important things. They always have been. We've been spending taxpayers' money on things for years, and Canadians and taxpayers want good value for their money. I think they deserve that. We're going to really focus on that in a way that's probably more tangible than it has been in the past.
The reason I say that is that if you go back to that 2024 report from NDDN, which largely informed how this agency was stood up, the recommendations in that report were unanimous. All parties agreed to them. In addition to that, there's a supplement from the Conservatives that said they wanted a single point of accountability. Under our legacy system, arguably, we didn't have it. We had four agencies that all had major roles, but no single one of those agencies was accountable. If you're talking about an increase in accountability, whether the DIA is under PSPC as an SOA or it stands up on its own, it will have a single point of accountability.
In this case right now, I hold the position, but there will be others in the future. The secretary of state for the agency is politically accountable to this committee, the House of Commons and the voters, and we didn't really have that before. I think we're going to have accountability that we really haven't seen before. I think that's an improvement.
With regard to all of the other expert elements of how we keep procurements from coming off the rails, we're making sure that the process has integrity. Right now, we still have all of the resources of PSPC, because we're still housed under them. As Mr. Guzman said, as we build out on our own we'll either bring some of that with us or get it from some other place. Wherever we need to get it from, we'll have it. We will always have that expertise in-house to make sure the process has integrity, and now we have a single point of accountability at the top, which we haven't had in 60 years. I think we're in a better place than we were before.
