Thank you very much.
One of the things we hear a lot about when we talk to Canadian innovators and Canadian companies is that they want the Government of Canada and Canada's military to be their customer. Sometimes it is more challenging to become a customer of the Government of Canada or Canada's armed forces than it is to be the customer of other governments or other armed forces. What are some of the things we should be thinking about at this moment in time, when Canada is working on, and the Prime Minister is very clear on, making sure that we have our own independence, that we look at sovereignty as something that is essential, not optional? What are some of the things we need to be doing from a policy standpoint to ensure that those directions and that directive, and that sense of purpose for Canadian innovators being able to sell into Canada, the Canadian government...? And, of course, our armed forces is front of mind.
