When I was at this committee about a year ago, I was arguing for a national defence strategy that identifies the threat and then informs a defence industrial strategy, which is then operationalized, perhaps through a defence investment agency.
The government has done it the other way. They created the Defence Investment Agency and then the strategy. I do think that a defence strategy for identifying the threats is still a missing piece.
I'm very encouraged by where the government is going on this. We're going in the right direction, but that threat piece to inform the sovereign [Inaudible—Editor] is required.
