As I mentioned, we were quite fortunate. A number of federal test departments expressed an interest in potentially testing the innovation. In our proposal, there was an opportunity to suggest potential end user organizations for which the technology might have a benefit, which we did. Following the pre-qualified selection for the proposal, we were able to engage directly with the CICP office and discuss with them which departments they might wish to contact, the intention of the technology, who it should be used by.
That was a fairly transparent process of making a few phone calls. They found someone in the RCMP who had an interest in the technology, and it went quite quickly from there.
Once we had identified the RCMP as the test department, we had some discussions with them to work out the details of how they would like to test the technology, in order to include that activity in the statement of work. It went quite smoothly.
