« Tous ces mots-clés — rationalisation, efficacité —, on les entend autant dans les couloirs de l'OTAN qu'à Ottawa, ».« Tout le monde parle désormais de partenariats et de défense intelligente, mais la défense intelligente signifie qu'il n'y a pas de chevauchements ni de redondances».
“All of the buzzwords—streamlining, efficiencies—are very much being heard in the halls of NATO as they're being bantered around in the halls of Ottawa,”.“Everyone is talking more about partnerships, talking about what has been deemed smart defence. And smart defence means insuring that we're not duplicating efforts, that there aren't redundancies”.
