I think you'd have to go back to what I was saying in my remarks. You have to divide up the kind of support that the Canadian Forces provides: logistical, administrative and people. I think if you define precisely what you want from the private sector....
I'm using helicopters, because helicopters are used a lot in disasters to move people around. Canadian Forces helicopters are attack helicopters, by and large. They're excruciatingly expensive. They're expensive to maintain. People use them, in fact, because they are armed and they can go out and shoot people. They're not designed to move bedding. Whereas, you have private sector helicopters that are very good at transporting goods. We have any number of companies that would do that, so we issue a standing offer.
I think we would be making the wrong decision if we automatically excluded the possibility of using the private sector. I agree with you that you have to be careful. Not every contract that the federal government signs is as cost-effective as it might be, but some are. It depends on the circumstances.
It's either doing something like that or we're going to have to continue relying on the military. The problem there is that it cuts down on their operational training, and they're not getting enough of that, I would argue.
