One of the things I would say is that we, along with other federal departments, are involved in the whole procurement process, through advisory committees and what have you. There's a significant challenge role that's played, not only by Public Works and Government Services Canada but also in these committee meetings, which include Treasury Board Secretariat, PCO, Industry Canada, Finance, and other departments.
We try to make sure the performance specifications are clear. We challenge to determine what those mission parameters are that the general has already indicated. We compare them with the market analysis we have available to us to determine whether there's a sufficient competitive situation out there, and if not, why that situation has occurred and whether there is an opportunity to determine that we can do something slightly differently or whether the requirement has to be built.
I should say that we're comparing requirement here with what's commercially or militarily available off the shelf. If the requirement is so specific and so precise and so high that something doesn't exist, then we're into a build situation, which can take many years to deliver the required solution.
