Two things are going on here. There's the whole way forward, procurement reform, and then there's the individual, how we're dealing with the individual sectors and how we're going to purchase their particular products and services. My interpretation was that the permanent government-industry committee was going to be the THS sector sitting down again with the government to determine how we can figure out where we're going and what we're going to do under the whole government procurement reform policy. I didn't see this as being at the level of discussing the government's procurement reform policies with other industry representatives; I saw it more as looking at how our industry is dealt with in providing its services to government.
