We work very closely with our procurement staff, the navy, and the other services to ensure that there's a clear understanding of what we see in the future threat environment. At that point, it becomes the responsibility of the services and the procurement folks to decide what the appropriate response is.
I'm not familiar enough with the ins and outs of the current procurement setup to comment. I understand that you may have Mr. Finn coming through in the next couple of weeks. He might be able to give you more detail on the procurement side of things.
I am confident that the information we provide in that process is heard, registered, and becomes part of the decision-making. Certainly everything I've passed on to you today are things we have raised before and have been raising for some time. This information is known and is accounted for in the decision-making by the department.
