I would note that often swaps occur, so when you are putting a bid together to respond to an RFP or some procurement vehicle that's being put in place by the government, you as a resource attest that you're available to do the work. Then the process takes a while, you've been offered another job and when it comes to the bid being awarded into a contract, that resource is no longer available. What then happens is that they have to provide a minimum mandatory requirement. If you need someone who is an astronaut, you have to provide someone who is an astronaut.
There are a lot of different dimensions to swapping out resources. Sometimes you get better resources; sometimes you get better value.
They have to have a minimum mandatory requirement. On those resources, we are now looking at whether we should have named resources or not. There may be more value in not having named resources and only named competencies. This is an area we're very interested in.
I would also note that the ombudsman noted that there was a 76% resource swap-out. That is relatively significant. It was during COVID. It was also the fact that GC Strategies provided close to 100 resources at CBSA, so there was a volume there, as well, of work that had to be done.
