I would be interested in having you comment on an observation that was made, and I quote:
The occasion arises so seldom in column-writing to say something good about a government that I should waste no time congratulating the federal government for its decision to step away from a hornet's nest of regional rivalries...
Those words were written by someone who teaches economics at McGill University. As I understand it, there have always been conflicts between military requirements and the need to let regional contracts.
I would like to hear your views on that. What is National Defence's position in that regard? Are they compatible? If so, which one takes precedence?
