Very briefly, there are two systems. First of all, members should understand that there's one that's been in place since the outset of the program. We refer to that as CFIS I, the Canadian Firearms Information System I. It remains the operating system for the Canada Firearms Centre. The second system in question is referred to as CFIS II. It has been a system under development now for a number of years and, as indicated by Mr. Bennett, is currently under review.
The normal practice—though I won't get into details—is that when a major contact is let, there is certainly some provision for changes in volumes, or whatever, which is usually built right into the costing formula. The critical issue around the delays in implementation of the new system is that when that contract was let, it was based on a certain set of assumptions around the act that amended the Criminal Code and Firearms Act, Bill C-10A, which took a lot longer, as members will recall, to put in place. In fact the regulations were only made about a year and a half ago. So those delays prevented the contractor from delivering a system.
Now, of course, we're going through further changes in the program. That is one of the reasons, as well as contract-related issues, that the program is under review.
