The e-procurement system is a really important system for the department and for the whole of government. This is a contract that is under way with Infosys as a prime contractor. It's basically to put an off-the-shelf tool in the hands of public servants to allow them to do the basic end of procurement themselves. It will require less expertise for the more basic transactions once it's up and running.
That lets us save our resources—our procurement experts—for the more complicated procurements, like the one Mr. Fillion was just talking about. That's where the real value add for procurement experts is. That's the goal of that system.
It will also give the government much better data on its procurement. When this is all said and done, we'll have much better data on our procurement initiatives, which will help for better decision-making.
The final piece I'll add is that we do work with the Treasury Board Secretariat, as well as National Defence to a certain extent, because that is where the big procurement expertise is required—a strategy to bring people in, train them, get them certified to the extent they need to be and share resources where we have to.
