—the early validation of requirements that's happening at DND is very helpful. Their independent review panel on defence acquisitions helps brings some certainty. We also do a lot of industry engagement to validate this. We collaborate with international counterparts. We also talk to the supply chain because, increasingly, prime contractors are procurement entities in and of themselves.
Your question relates to risk management. There is risk in all these complex projects, whether military or non-military. As I said earlier, the life cycle of procurements is getting shorter and shorter. What we're really concerned with is making sure the government has opportunities for choice and innovation throughout the life of whatever it buys. That means that intellectual property, for example, isn't locked down such that you always have to go back to the OEM. You can actually have choice down the road.
