There is an acquisition process for all kinds of materiel, whether it's water, oil, or lumber. It's really fairly complex, because it's sometimes a multinational effort, whereas in other cases, it may be only a national requirement. For example, when we need lumber, it's often a national requirement. In that case, we will deal with Koblenz, where there is a detachment from Public Works and Government Services Canada. That is often where we get construction materials that Kellogg, Brown and Root cannot provide within the necessary timeframe.
