That is unfortunate. I appreciate your candour.
We talk about the U.S. giving Canadian companies military contracts. We know that they often work quite differently than the Government of Canada in how they approach it. RFPs, as was mentioned, mean volumes of documents to satisfy the risk-averse bureaucracy within the Government of Canada, whereas down in the States a hundred pages are usually more than enough, and they'll work side by side with industry to develop new military products.
I'm wondering what experiences Canadian companies are having, in working with the U.S. military, that we should be taking as lessons learned to apply to how we procure our own equipment here in Canada.
