As chair of CABiNET, we have ongoing consultations with Public Works procurement. In particular, over the last two years, we've been involved in consultations on two new supply chain task-based contracts—with task-based meaning obtaining professional services resources—which have just been delayed. The first one was just released in April; it's called the task-based informatics professional services contract, TBIPS. The second is still to be awarded, and it's for solutions-based informatics professional services. That industry consultation took one and a half to two years.
As far as shared services are concerned, they would not be available at a regional office level, I would think. We were never approached as to how shared services were supposed to happen. The first indication that it was happening was when we attended a breakfast sponsored by the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation in March, where Mr. Poole was the guest speaker. He outlined in his speech exactly how things were going to be delivered. That's when we became concerned.
Jeff, do you have anything else to add?
