Okay.
How about Dalian and Coradix? Did you work with them?

With Coradix, I did not. With Dalian for ArriveCAN, I did not.
I'll come back with a specific number. It's in the range of three to four outside the scope of ArriveCAN.

Do you have a ballpark figure in terms of the dollar value?
3:55 p.m.
Managing Partner, Markets & Industry, BDO Canada
I'll give you a ballpark, a rough order of magnitude, which was about $800,000. It could have crept up to $1 million, so I'll give that as the rough order of magnitude for the contracts collectively.

To Mr. Abbott and Ms. Foster, were you directed by any government official to specifically work with Dalian and/or GC Strategies?
