—about the Botler situation that happened with Dalian. Ritika Dutt said she fears that Dalian's procurement policies are “another example of monetization and theft using the trauma of marginalized communities”. Can you talk about how much harm that caused? I believe it's fraud that they hired.... Botler didn't know that they were being used like that, and they were totally opposed to being used as a set-aside because they knew that they didn't qualify, so they were calling it out. They were coming forward. Can you talk about how much harm that created, in terms of capacity-building as well, for companies?
