I think there are a number of factors in what you're talking about. I would separate out the idea of whether it's the play between the departments. I would definitely start with the issue of the performance specs that I addressed before. I won't go into that in depth now.
I think the government has an investment strategy, and for its own reasons that investment strategy is not a public document. The more that Canadian industry can know what is coming down the pike, the better they will be able to respond to the government's needs, and the better the government will be able to get better value.
