I'll get the exact timelines. It was actually open for a little longer than that. The RFP was issued on April 9, and the closing was April 30, so it was a little less than a month. The contract was awarded on May 19.

In between, we had to get Treasury Board's authority to sign the contact, so we were doing things in parallel. We received that on April 20 as we were going out on the RFP. Those are the timelines.
