That is a great question, Emmanuella. Thank you for asking it.
There are a number of objectives. Let me go through them quickly. The first one, the most important objective, is to meet the needs of our armed forces. They require support to be there for Canada and Canadians across the world. We need to do that in a more timely and more strategic manner while we protect the rigour of our system. In the end, what matters is the right equipment at the right time in the right way for our military.
As we do that, procurement reform will also make sure we develop the resilience and capability of our defence industry sector in Canada. We need that because other countries are facing similar challenges when it comes to delivering the right equipment at the right time. One example of that, a brief one that I would point to, is a recent accord with Finland and the United States. It's called the ICE pact. The ICE pact is a tremendous example of what Canadian industry can support and how Canadian industry can support the needs, in this case, of the armed forces and the Coast Guard while supporting the needs of Finland, the United States and many other allied countries in the world on icebreaking capability. This is an incredibly important example of how we can do things more quickly and more collaboratively with our industries and with allied countries.
A recent example that I mentioned briefly in my opening remarks is the announcement about L3Harris. L3Harris is a very important industry player in the defence sector in Canada. The fact that they'll be able to work strategically with us in the weeks and months to come will not only enable them to develop a national depot for the soon-to-come F-35s. It will also open up the opportunity for the United States to partner with us to have a regional North American depot for airframe maintenance in Canada for the F-35s.
