Thank you very much, Mr. McKay.
I do appreciate the time parameters we're working with here, so I will undertake to give you more fulsome and specific information.
Working back to front with some of your questions, first, I would say we are not lessening our commitment to NATO, the monetary commitment does go up as a result of Canada's overall contributions. That is reflected there. Certain programs and certain missions, of course, do involve a financial commitment from Canada—that is, there's pool funding and then there is specific funding. As you know, with the changed role in Afghanistan, we are spending less vis-à-vis that particular mission. The “pop-up” mission, for lack of a better term, in Libya, which was also a NATO mission, was a specific contribution. So those are reflected in our overall contributions.
With respect to Shared Services Canada, I want to assure you that this has nothing to do with procurement. This has to do with the servers, the email process, and the databank that DND uses, as do other departments. We are now sharing or pooling resources with respect to that overall computer system for internal government use. It's not to do specifically with procurement.
