Madam, allow me to add a comment to what Ms. Oliver has just mentioned. I am the President of the Public Sector Business Committee—whose French name I cannot recall right now. The way this committee operates is completely transparent. When we have the opportunity to work with the federal government, all of our members are invited. We have a distribution list and relay everything that we do and discuss to our members. All members are invited to attend the meetings of the subcommittees to discuss shared services, the business communication network of the government, or any other subject, before ITAC tables its submission to the government.
Members of our association attend the meetings because they have an interest in the proceedings. If they do not participate, it is because they do not have any interest. I can assure you that all of our members are aware of our activities and are invited to all of our meetings. Our process is totally transparent. I have been involved with ITAC, as has my colleague Hicham. If there are representatives from major corporations who are with us today, it is because they can afford to invest their time and resources to support the association, whereas a small or medium business has fewer resources to do so.
