Merci, Madame. If I may, I will answer in English.
We're proud of our success. I still believe that we are a company that still acts like a small company in many ways, being entrepreneurial. Entrepreneurship is one of our core values. We are still growing. We compete on an international scale. Some of our competitors are ten times our size, so on an international scale we're still that company that's working hard.
You asked me a good question in terms of the region and how we grow. We would obviously deliver the business in Canada, so it could be in the region or in other parts of Canada. Today, we are obviously a major provider to Government of Canada services. To my colleague Louis' earlier analogy, I may be already selling my client four or five cars. I may end up really selling my client two or three cars, if they spend less. I may gain or lose in terms of spending, because many of these departments today are already my clients directly. If they become a client of Public Works, and Public Works then subcontracts some of that work to me or whatever, I may be getting less business or more business. The question, really, is whether it's still the right thing to do from a taxpayer perspective or from a government perspective.
To your question about how we manage resources, yes, we do leverage those centres of excellence. Those centres are built to deliver a service, so they're not necessarily always utilized to the maximum. We do act as a provider to many clients. Somebody may be 60% busy. We use 40% of that person's time to manage another client and so on, because that person could be working for multiple clients. That's how our clients get value and efficiency out of us.
We do work with small companies and large companies. That's how we grow and build. Again, we still believe there's room to grow those companies. However, if we do not do work and do projects as a country, those companies would not develop skills and capabilities that they can leverage. I don't think anyone would say that if you're going to go build a building, you would hire me personally with my own hammer to come and build a building. You would hire a general contractor, potentially, who would work with firms large and small, and that person would act as the integrator and would provide a service.
