I'll do my best.
First and foremost, we actually have a lot of really good sovereign capability already residing within Canada. That's one of the fundamental problems—that we think we don't have as much as we really do.
I would draw your attention to the fact that we study this sector every couple of years. There is a very detailed Statistics Canada and Department of Industry, or ISED, study that goes into the capabilities we have in the country, right down to microdata, which may or may not be available to you but is certainly available to the departments.
It is foundational, since procurement is the biggest lever, that we mindfully decide to procure sovereign capability through our procurement process. I would argue that one of the challenges we have is that our procurement process wants to, by nature, compete many things. We don't often use tools we have available to us, which are called, generally speaking, national security exceptions or “not in the public interest”, where you can very expeditiously procure a sovereign capability should you want to.
Those would be a couple of things: We need to inform ourselves on what's already within the country, and data exists on that. Then, secondly, we need to prepare ourselves to procure these things without eroding the base we already have.
