Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Defence) (14:46): I appreciate Senator Conroy reiterating some observations he made at estimates in regard to the process. The government is committed to the competitive evaluation process. The government will be following that process—which will be returned, as I said, at the end of this month from three proponents across three categories. It is an extremely technical and extremely detailed process. It will take a significant period of time to evaluate. The government will respond to the results of the CEP in due course.
