Mr. Chairman, Ms. Bourgeois: we mention that we have project teams in the following context. Let us take the example of a major project for the Department of National Defence. We talked about a number of them today. In order to conduct the procurement process properly, it goes without saying that we need the expertise of the Department of National Defence and of the Department of Public Works and Government Service.
So we have some technical experts who identify the needs, and for PWGSC's part, we have procurement experts, lawyers—because these procedures are really quite complex—and we have financial analysts as well. The improvement we introduced was to bring people together into one group. The number of people on a project team may vary between 10 and 15 depending on the type of project. However, there may be more people at certain times, particularly when the needs are being defined.
