A degree of agreement was reached that National Defence ought in future to purchase from companies already equipped with the necessary expertise and infrastructures, in order to make optimum use of the taxpayers' funds. Here again, in the Bloc's dissenting report, reference was made to certain situations in which it had been found that there had been overruns, sometimes extremely substantial, and that the construction of certain plants had cost the taxpayers dearly.
Jusqu'à un certain point, il avait été entendu que le ministère de la Défense se devait dans l'avenir, afin d'utiliser au mieux les fonds des contribuables, acheter sur le marché de compagnies qui possèdent déjà l'expertise et les infrastructures pour le faire.
