Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all three witnesses for their service to Canada. It's great having all three generals in front of us and participating in this important study.
General Thibault, you talked about the need to take on more risk. In looking at processes and procedures, does Treasury Board add a value, or is it part of the problems that we are dealing with in procurement?
Both General Leslie and General Thibault, could you talk about the issue of streamlining procurement? Can we do this through National Defence?
General Thibault, as a former vice chief of the defence staff, you had your hands on the procurement files. The threshold at Treasury Board right now of what National Defence can spend is about $50 million. Shouldn't that be higher, or should that just be completely moved over under one minister of accountability in the Department of National Defence?
