Thank you and welcome, sir, to our committee again, in a different capacity, and congratulations on your new post. I don't doubt your experience, sir, and I'm not going to quiz you on your qualifications, but I do want to know how you are going to put it to use to solve some of the major problems that I think we all are aware exist at DND.
Most recently, of course, on procurement, which you just mentioned, a report by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, the so-called Vimy Paper from the CDA Institute, lists some of the problems with procurement as being “the manner in which military requirements are generated...and an overwhelming lack of trust directed towards National Defence”. It's fairly scathing, I would say, from an august body like this that knows the system pretty well. How do you hope to change that?
First of all, we had an announcement in 2013 that there was going to be a reset on the Canada First defence strategy, which is basically a procurement list. That was in October 2013. Do you think that we'll hear in the next month or two what that reset amounts to? That might go some way in restoring the faith that people might or might not have in DND under your new leadership.
