Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I respectfully submit that this process is going in circles as long as you're going to bring in contrasting views on this topic. I understand the panel that has been suggested is going to present contrasting views, which I think will only lead to panels that will bring in views that would counter the views of the panel that's been suggested.
I think a study has been done on procurement, and the report should be completed. We should move on as planned to the study of NORAD, something I know the committee has spoken about in the past and wants to complete a study on.
We can continue to banter around whether we are getting value for money or whether we're actually addressing the needs of the forces, but I think the forces are ultimately going to determine what their needs are, and that's going to drive the procurement. As a committee, we should stand behind their decisions. I think the report that has been worked on does address the fact that we need accountability in the procurement process. Again, we as a group have a feeling that there's nothing wrong with a second study on procurement, but we don't think now is the time.
