To my colleague's point, yes, they weren't specifically mentioned, but in the study, we do mention federal departments. Ministers of the Crown are, by right, the heads of those federal departments. Given the simple fact that the government is going to increase its defence spending, over the next five years, to almost $82 billion, with about $6.6 billion of that over five years for a defence industrial strategy, we thought it was incumbent, as part of this study, to invite ministers of the Crown with regard to the specific portfolios and federal departments that we indicated.
I was simply asking for clarification on the status of those invitations asking the ministers to come forward to speak to what I would think would be a relevant study.
