Thank you very much, Mr. Chair
Thanks to our witnesses.
In previous Parliaments, I had the opportunity to be part of public accounts during the study of military procurement, and we were talking about things like F-35s. There is certainly a discussion about how Canadian companies would have been impacted by being part of that particular process, and I know that continues.
I learned a lot about full life cycles and the conflicts between what the Department of National Defence and the Auditor General would say what that should be, as well as the PBO. A lot of interesting things took place on variants of the F-35s.
Mr. Fortin, I'll start by asking you these questions, and then maybe I'll get another opportunity later to ask the other gentleman.
After the defence procurement strategy was unveiled, the Defence Analytics Institute was established as an important pillar of the defence procurement strategy, because it's difficult, if not impossible, to make good procurement decisions without that clear understanding of Canada's complex and diverse defence industrial base. the DAI was designed because there was no source, either in government, academia, or the private sector, for collecting knowledge and data on Canada's defence industrial base. I'm just wondering what is happening with the DAI today.
