I think it's very true when reading contracts that some of them can be very opaque, and there is a real legal industry around contracts. I think that's very true.

From a Treasury Board perspective, terms and conditions in contracts are only relevant to the government contract regs where we have deemed terms and conditions that apply to all contracts, but other than that, Treasury Board does not set the terms and conditions of contracts.

I don't know if Arianne has anything else.
