4. National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy Establish a strategic relationship with two Canadian shipyards and designate them as source of supply to build Government ships over 1000 tonnes displacement, where: • One shipyard will build the combat vessels package • Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship, Canadian Surface Combatant • The other will build the non-combat vessels package • Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel, Offshore Fisheries Science Vessel, Polar Icebreaker, Joint Support Ship Set-aside smaller vessels for competition by other than the two selected yards and their affiliates Repair, maintenance and refit – Business as usual Web Site: http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/sam-mps/snacn-nsps-eng.html

5. Enhanced Measures Unprecedented lengths to ensure the fairness, openness and transparency of this historic procurement process • Regular meetings with the shipyards to develop procurement approach and Request For Proposal documents • An internationally recognized third party expert (FMI) has benchmarked the capability and performance of the yards • A leading consulting firm (KPMG) assisted in development of the procurement process • Fairness Monitor involved to provide independent assurance that activities are conducted in a fair, open and transparent manner • interim report at RFP release: “… decisions are made objectively, free from personal favouritism and political influence, and encompasses the elements of openness, competitiveness, transparency and compliance.” • Robust governance, empowered decision making, dispute avoidance and resolution – Arms length from politics
