Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. saint pierre, I have a formal request for you, on behalf of myself and the other members of the committee. How many small and medium businesses were awarded a contract by Public Works and Government Services in the fiscal years 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008? I would like you to provide us with those figures in the next few days. Thank you for doing that.
As well, I would like to know for how much Public Works and Government Services paid for goods and services in fiscal year 2007-2008. We do not really have precise figures. Perhaps Mr. Masse could give me an answer. You tell us that, depending on the year, it varies between $11 billion and $15 billion. What was it for the last fiscal year?
