Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Deputy Minister Stewart and Mr. Pilon, for joining us.
I'm going to pick up right where Mr. Green left off, but first I want to know something from you, Mr. Stewart. I know you weren't there at the time as deputy minister; that's been well noted. In your time and your career throughout the public service—we know you've been at other departments—has it been unusual to have a sole-source contract of this nature for communications that was initiated by the minister and carried out by the department? How many, would you say, have you seen throughout your career?
