I can actually point to one that was announced fairly recently. That was the submarine project we're undertaking. It is a massive procurement. It may be the biggest procurement this country has ever done if we take all 12 submarines, and we factor in the infrastructure on the coasts. I believe there were 25 responses to an RFI. We downselected to two that met the high-level mandatory requirements of the Canadian navy.
Those two companies will square off to see which one can demonstrate the best value for Canada. This is exactly what we want. We literally shaved years off the process. The public timeline for awarding this contract is 2028 with subs in the water by 2035. I think we can do it faster. We're going to push this as quickly as we can.
My big concern here is to make a decision and get infrastructure under way, find the correct locations and begin to build the infrastructure. Oftentimes, and I can think of a couple of projects, the projects gets out in front of the infrastructure. We then have a problem when the thing arrives, and we don't the correct infrastructure to look after it, maintain it or house it.
My hope is that we can get this moving quicker, and I think we can.
