Thank you very much.
I have a quick question on procurement and then, if I have time, I want to go to IP and ethics.
There is a company in Guelph that is woman-owned. She makes some pieces for export, machining parts for American tanks. The U.S. has a stream for small businesses. It also has a stream for women-owned businesses. For smaller contracts, there's a pool of those contracts and then it's easier for those small businesses to bid. The U.K. has a defence industrial strategy and it also has a stream dedicated to small business.
Is our defence industrial strategy planning to do that or will we be relying on the large industries—the large defence companies—to do their own subcontracting?
I think it's an interesting model and I'm curious to know whether we are planning to adopt a similar one.
