Thank you, sir.
There were no design changes made in the RFPs, so our requirements have remained unchanged. After the first round of evaluations, we got some really good feedback on how to improve and streamline, so the changes we made were all about how to streamline the evaluation.
On intellectual property, there are very different views from the bidders. We've taken a middle ground. We clearly have to protect the taxpayer. This is a ship that will be in service for 50 years. We want to make sure we can maintain the readiness of the Royal Canadian Navy for those 50 years. I would say, on some of the parts that were not just contentious but on which bidders had different views, we've set them aside such that we've created a process in which we've said that, for the most competitive bidder, we'll spend 45 days negotiating the final intellectual property rights to try to deal with the disparate views.
It really is different around the world. The problem is that the feedback we got was so different that you could not write a set of intellectual property clauses for everybody.
