Thank you.
I know these are difficult questions, because this has been a major criticism of this government, especially with respect to the defence department and the inability to plan for the reductions in investment in this department. The moneys are announced and then there are barriers to spending them, so to me it seems to be a chaotic approach, but I appreciate your answer.
Another question I have is on one of your focuses, which is procurement. Can you tell me how your experience in the past will help you to meet your targets for procurement? At least half of the national procurement strategy equipment projects are behind schedule. Now there are five ministers in the mix, not three, none of whom have bottom-line accountability. How would your past experience help you get results in a situation where your minister doesn't have the final say on anything?
