Madam Chair, we work very closely with program departments. Building on the comments of the Canada Firearms Centre, they were responding to changing requirements in terms of implementation and timeframes and the system. We work closely with them in terms of identifying what are the operational realities and how they affect the contract, and then try to structure the contract accordingly. So in this particular case, yes, we have structured the contract in terms of responding to evolving needs.
