Sir, I think it is a somewhat fine line. It's really important to consult early, as CADSI recommended. It's important to have transparency and predictability on where we're going.
For example, at the end of the day, General Leslie, the commander of the army, is accountable for the type of equipment that his soldiers need when they're in harm's way. To some degree, that accountability can't be shared.
It doesn't mean you can't seek good advice and get good ideas to understand whether it's a platform or components of platforms in Canada or technology that we should think about. It is a dialogue. I think the dialogue is actually pretty good. Can it become better? Perhaps it can.
At the end of the day, I think the commanders who are accountable for the execution of combat operations particularly need to have a major say in the requirements.
