Did I?
Our industry mainly comprises very small businesses. There is no exception to that in the supply of temporary help to the federal government. Of the 50 or 60 real suppliers of temporary help to the federal government—I'm not talking about the people who are actually on the standing offer, but the real ones—about 90% of them are small businesses, some of them very small, some of them very small shops. Those small businesses currently do about 80% of the business. So we have protection in the existing system; we don't need to protect them any further.
What we don't need is the proposal put forward by A.T. Kearney to push all the business to large companies: that in order to protect small business, which is a totally phony deal, the small businesses should form consortiums. That was the only way we were “protected”.
We don't need any further protection than what we have at the moment. What we don't need is somebody saying the only way you're going to do business with the federal government is to form yourself into a coalition with other companies, which doesn't work, because our margins are so small that you can't do it.
The other thing is, how do you divide it up? It's not like making widgets, where one company can make one size of widgets and one company can make another. You can't do that with temporary help. The margins are less than 4.5%. You can't split that between two or three companies and say, you take half a percent and there's another half a percent there. It's absurd.
