Thank you, Mr. Hawn.
Mr. Chair, it's important to point out that my role, of course, and any service chief's role, is really not to get involved in the debate that we're hearing this morning. We're certainly aware of it and it is an important one, but our job is to look ahead and decide what government expects us to do, and therefore look at the best means of delivering on those expectations. That's what we've been doing in developing the statement of requirements that we then internally get sanctioned and approved through rigorous discussion and analysis, and at some point, if the government decides it wants to move ahead, it goes into a procurement process and would then be translated into a request for proposals, and that's where that would be expressed.
Certainly we've followed our process, as you would expect. The fact that now we're into a discussion on how the procurement will occur is certainly a valid one, but I think we've followed our process, as we would for any other program.
