Well, in a model, time is the enemy. In our report—and the report you're referring to, I assume, is the 2021 report “Procurement at Cyber Speed”—for those of you who have it, page 18 is a good read. There are really three things that could be done.
You start to create these umbrella projects that procure capability. As I suggested, you break down those barriers, so you have trusted partners and there is a capability development and sustainment that is resident within a country, and you allocate funding at an umbrella level.
The other thing you could do is have more flexible funding. Right now, we have a whole approvals process. It goes through Treasury Board and there are about 200 steps if you take the old model. You would get rid of all that sausage making, if you will, and you would consider a vote of funding that has the flexibility of vote 1 and the ability to acquire new capability of vote 5.
Then, the last thing you could do is fast-track the approval and contracting process by, as I said, setting guidelines, which is where you have technology and services made by Canadian nationals with Canadian security clearances and trusted, curated Canadian businesses where taxes are paid in Canada and IP rests in Canada—boom. I can buy that.
