That is a good question. We gave the example of temporary help. We deal with more than 100 departments, and they all have to make use of temporary help services. So, we developed a tool which allows them to access such services. We created a competitive process. As part of the government approach, we selected 125 companies that they can use. Any department that is interested can access these tools. That way, we are not continually starting the process over again, day after day, when a need arises. This is very helpful to small and medium enterprises, because they only qualify once. In addition, the ones that were unable to qualify have an opportunity to do so, because the information is updated every year. So, that is what we are talking about with respect to the government-wide tool.
As regards professional technology services, you have heard about the TBITS system on a number of occasions. It was implemented over the past couple of years and, in this case as well, companies are able to prequalify. Depending on their requirements, departments can avail themselves of these companies' services.
With respect to shared service initiatives, the federal government has an entire management system in place, as well as a series of network-related contracts. At the beginning of the meeting, we indicated that, as regards the first network-related initiative, we did hold consultations. The results of those consultations will soon be made available to you, as well as a number of recommendations affecting our procurement strategy.
