Mr. Speaker, in the last year there has been a virtual management revolution in the ministry of defence.
We are trying to have many services contracted to the private sector. We are trying to adopt many private sector methods such as in warehousing, in having on time just in time delivery where suppliers actually keep the particular components rather than having them stored. We are in the process of installing a state of the art computer system that will keep track of all of the components in the materiels group. Indeed, we have restructured the materiels group, which is the largest section of national defence, in charge of procurement and administration of all big capital programs. We have totally restructured that and in the next year there will be more and more layers of management eliminated. I think when it is all done the taxpayers will get better value for their dollar.
