We have chosen to solve that problem with what we call a public interest exception.
If we find ourselves in an emergency situation, if it is a matter of national security or if a single supplier is available in a given area, we can, in those circumstances, award a contract, even if the company should not be able to do business with the government under the provisions we have put in place. However, they are very specific situations. We do that on a case by case basis.
As I was explaining earlier, since the implementation of the enhanced integrity provisions in November, we have awarded contracts to companies found guilty of breaches of our code on three occasions. We did so either because there was only one supplier—and the product, the service or the item, was essential—or because signing a contract with a company was essential for health and safety reasons.
