The Defence Investment Agency is importing in the best folks we have from the departments that currently exist: PSPC, DND and ISED. Those folks are coming to our agency right now.
What I heard when I was consulting with industry a lot is that it is just way too complicated and too complex, especially for the small to medium-sized businesses. The OEMs have lobbyists and all sorts of different people—they know what to do—but the small to medium-sized businesses don't necessarily have the resources to get involved in military procurement. That's a fair criticism. Bringing all these bits of procurement and centralizing them in one place is designed to be one-stop shopping for everybody. Right off the bat, you're only going to one place. You're not running around Ottawa, trying to figure out how it works.
The defence industrial strategy should lay out a road map for how small to medium-sized businesses get more involved. With regard to industry engagement, certainly with big OEMs.... Canada has a number of them, and I have asked them to look at their supply chains that they pull from in the provinces or the areas that we work in—some of them pull right across the country—and to bring small to medium-sized enterprises into their tent so that we can maximize this big spend across the country to as many businesses as we can.
