Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Fuhr.
As you pointed out, in other countries, defence procurement is undertaken by individual armed services, defence departments, centralized defence organizations, separate government organizations or independent civilian corporations. In recent years, the global trend has been to centralize defence procurement processes under a single independent organization, as we have now done.
My constituency, the Bay of Quinte, is home to several defence industry players, including L3Harris, that support operations at CFB Trenton. How will the new Defence Investment Agency help companies like these deliver the capabilities that the Canadian Armed Forces need now more quickly and efficiently at such bases?
