That's exactly the question I asked when I became the minister of this department, President of the Treasury Board--how our procurement policy actually works. The secretary very kindly explained exactly that. Essentially the general rule is that there is a competitive process. That is the main goal of all procurement. In certain situations, for one reason or another--and I'll have the secretary explain that--that is not the practice. There's nothing inappropriate about it. For example, the criteria are well known; those criteria are put out, and we say, “This is what we are looking for”, and then people are asked to match that. I'm perhaps not explaining it properly.
Mr. Wouters can go on.
