In some cases, procurements do move to the right; you're negotiating. However, I would argue that for the most part we see procurements get stuck in a couple of phases. One is the actual procurement-to-contract phase. It can take years, and the first happens a lot more up front. We call it requirements definition and options analysis, and it can take five years before it gets out of options analysis. One of the contributing factors for that, which you would have to validate with the Canadian Armed Forces as they are the owners of the requirements and options analysis part of the process, is I believe the changeover in posting cycles with individuals who come in and out of the procurement process.
Perhaps if we civilianized that a bit more, got it stable and actually set some targets and mapped out the process, we might be able to reduce bottlenecks and other inefficiencies in the process, as well as perhaps have stable individuals who are there year over year. That would allow a more efficient process.
