I can understand that entering the data could be problematic.
As my colleague said earlier, we could look to what they have done in Great Britain and the United States. There are other NATO countries whose example we could follow. There must be people who can determine the value of their inventory and who know what is happening at all the warehouses.
I know there are logistical problems. These exist in many warehouses around the world. I do not think Canada is the only country with this problem. In government, there is Public Services and Procurement Canada. I cannot believe that this department has the same problem. There must certainly be organizations you could look to as regards best practices.
