The project management team on the technical side and my own groups in contracting have reviewed the documents, and the recommendation comes from us to award the contract. There are a few tiers. There are checks and balances here, so therefore a recommendation is made to a director general with a quality assurance review, and the recommendation is further forwarded to an assistant deputy minister, who approves the award of the contract.
On October 26th, 2010. See this statement in context.
