I'm pleased to respond.
On the value proposition, as you know, we moved from an industrial regional benefits policy to an industrial technology benefits policy. The difference around the value proposition is that we've moved the requirement on those from whom we are procuring goods to an earlier point in the process. We're asking them to provide us with their strongest industrial benefits to Canada and then making that a weighted criterion in the determination of who wins the procurement.
The advantages are obvious. Previously it was a pass-or-fail mechanism: you could fail on your ITBs or you could pass on them, but it wasn't weighted, and there was an incentive to effectively provide just good enough ITBs. Now, with a competitive model, we've incentivized those who are seeking to get major procurements from the Government of Canada to bring forward their best value propositions to Canada. We assess that now much earlier in the process so that it's a weighted criterion in the immediate and first decision, which obviously strengthens the opportunities for Canadian businesses.
