Mr. Terry Williston (Director General, Land, Aerospace and Marine Systems and Major Projects Sector, Public Works and Government Services Canada) at the National Defence Committee

I would personally think the level of transparency is relatively equal in all arms of the armed services.

One thing I would comment on is the comment that was made about the length of time it takes to develop naval requirements. I heard that 2015 is tomorrow, so I think there's a longer focus or a longer look to the future for those kinds of requirements. There's much more preliminary work done in the navy, perhaps, than in the other arms. From a procurement standpoint, though, I would think we offer the same level of transparency for all of the procurements we're attempting to proceed with.
