Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With that in mind, I'm going to be splitting my time with Mr. Guglielmin.
Thank you, witnesses, for your testimony here today and for the valuable insight that you provide to the committee.
Mr. Shimooka, I would like to begin with you. You talked about our peers and our allies a lot. Can you compare our procurement system to some of theirs? Can you extrapolate a little bit on what that looks like—where they're different, where they're effective, where they're broken?
