I guess I would tell you that I believe it's about having that life-cycle planning thought out first and not just reacting, “Oh, we're going run out of certain types of ships. They're no longer in service. Maybe we should think about replacing them.” It is about having that long-term thinking. I would argue that there are so many pieces of equipment in the Canadian Armed Forces that, yes, you would probably have a dedicated team, in the long term, doing that if you really were planning on a full life cycle for major equipment in the armed forces.
