I'm glad you read that article. That's someone other than my parents, so thank you for the question.
I was saying earlier that we live in risky times, and when you live in risky times, you have to take risks. To my earlier point, we have designed this exquisite system in which we haven't mitigated risk but have essentially eliminated risk. Risk elimination and risk mitigation are two different things.
Of course, the Crown should mitigate risk to the greatest degree possible in procurement, but that can't come at the expense, as Mr. Lombardi was saying, of arriving too late. It's creating a culture that is mission-aligned and well meaning, one in which the answer is going to be yes, subject to some certain constraints.
It's very difficult to prescribe how one fixes culture, but there has been a perverse, almost inverse, reward relationship for getting to zero risk. Now we have to flip that on its head. I think that's going to come from top cover, where well-intentioned risk-taking is rewarded, even if it's not perfect.
