Yes, basically. We've gone through a request for information process driven by PWGSC, which closed in mid-February. The activity that kick-started us was on June 6, when we received an update on MERX stating that the government would be proceeding with this RFP in the fall and that it was a very high-level assessment of what they might be changing for the RFP, based on feedback from the industry. The one thing was that they would award points to prospective bidders for having a strategic plan to engage SMEs as subcontractors.
As we have said in our speeches, we win 65% to 70% of the competitive bids in the federal government today by bidding against the same large integrators that are going to be the only ones capable of bidding on this contract. This is a billion-dollar opportunity annually, in four pillars. The first one is on the street in the fall, if it's allowed to proceed, and that's network services.
We have engaged the support of several other organizations in the last couple of days, in particular the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance, CATA, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, as well as the software product association, the Canadian Information Technology Providers Association, or CITPA.
