The cost to date, which we provided in our response to committee, shows $1.2 million over three fiscal years. That is the cost to develop and prepare the requirements for the GENS initiative.
The work happened over a period of three years. It involved working with our primary partner department, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, to gather the specifications and requirements. It also included an extensive consultation process with industry, through which we sought input and feedback on the GENS approach and made some adjustments. It included also the process of posting our draft solicitation of interest and qualification for feedback from industry. It's was a very lengthy, very structured process.
