I would say that Canadian businesses provide really good service and a really good response to procurement, so there isn't really something that distinguishes small and medium from large. We've had very good relationships with all levels of businesses across the country. I would say that it's really about respecting the legislative and policy frameworks of procurement to ensure that we're fair, open, and transparent to all, and that we respect our trade agreement obligations and that they respect the contracting obligations. I would be hard-pressed to make a distinction; all suppliers are good for me.
