Yes, absolutely. Mr. Chair, business cases must be done. Also, different options must be analyzed. The secretary mentioned it. This is not just about replacing existing systems. Several of them are a few decades old. Maybe there are more effective and efficient ways to do the same work or to get the same results. This is a lot more than simply replacing one system by an equivalent system. The processes must be examined. Since we are talking of an expense of several million dollars, I think this is a good opportunity to take the time to do things well.
