A few years ago, the decision was made to involve a number of departments to ensure that the money was being well spent. There are always ways to find a balance. For instance, during the last process, to procure the P‑8 aircraft, it was clear from our standpoint what the Royal Canadian Air Force's needs were.
PSPC focused on what the best way to purchase or procure the aircraft was. ISED looked at how to maximize the benefit for Canadian industry. Each department applied its own lens, and we ended up with a solution that suited us perfectly.
