Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to start off by thanking our witnesses for being here to answer some of our questions on this really important topic.
Previous witnesses, both today and on panels from other days, spoke to us about the need to transition from many departments in procuring for defence to one department, saying that this would make it a much more efficient system.
My first question for all panellists is: Do you agree with this?
Do you also see a major renewal causing potential setbacks, seeing as we're in a time when we need to act quickly? Ukraine needs us, but so does our own.... We need to make some big decisions soon.
Would you say this would be a major setback? Do you think there's a way forward that's better than transitioning to the one department way of doing things?
