Well, I thank you for coming. As you know, it's something that is very near and dear to this committee's heart, and particularly to mine, because I've lived some of the problems that have occurred when a national tender was called and the small and medium-sized businesses that used to compete had been totally cut out and were gone. In a sense, it's a question of balance: how you get the best price and keep some of these businesses and some of these profits in the communities where they've been created and where they've been for a long time.
I'm going to go to the first questioner. Monsieur Proulx.
