I wish I had an answer to that, but I think the beginning of it is the acceptance that in some cases defence acquisition is more important than regional economic development. I don't think it needs to be disengaged or disconnected in every single case, but we never make the case anymore.
I've sat in what I call the peanut gallery through two or three governments and listened to the ministers talking about this, and there are no criteria. A bunch of them will support regional development and industrial development and a bunch will support acquisitions. There are no criteria. There are no rules they could apply.
I think the beginning of all of this would be the elaboration of criteria that would allow the suspension of regional development considerations. The criteria would be publicly stated and publicly argued, maybe by this committee. Doing it behind closed doors is not a great way of proceeding.
