Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our witnesses today. Don't mind my voice. I'm suffering from a fairly bad cold.
I want to follow up on a comment that one of my colleagues made earlier in terms of assistance translating into more contracts. I think that's the measurement he was identifying, whether or not you can measure how the assistance you give translates into more contracts.
My question is more specifically to perhaps the relationship you have with the procurement ombudsman. I'm wondering about something. Last week, we heard from Frank Brunetta here at committee, and he gave us some insight on how he deals with inquiries and complaints mainly from SMEs. My question, which may go back to my colleague's observation, is, do you find that SMEs contact your office to get clarification or to seek some assistance in the process of perhaps even wanting to follow up on a complaint with the ombudsman?
