Extremely interesting things are currently happening in the defence ecosystem. To be properly organized, it takes more than just the Canadian Armed Forces and Department of National Defence, strictly speaking. As you mentioned, the support provided by our industrial base and what it supplies is extremely important. These are the foundations upon which a strong defence is built. It's part of the defence industrial strategy that's being developed and will be released soon.
In addition, we now have the Defence Investment Agency, which was created to ensure that procurement projects are carried out efficiently and in a modern manner, and are adaptable to the current situation. That further strengthens our mandate.
If we have an industrial base and a supply chain capable of continuing production in a context where we would need more materials, equipment and ammunition, it will be an extremely powerful model.
We are very positive about the changes that are taking place.
