I am not one who will sit here before you today, sir, and say that everything should be shopped to the lowest bidder. The reality is that as it affects Canadian jobs, I think Canadians have to come first. If it's a government procurement policy that we can build in Canada, then I don't care if the government sole-sources, to be perfectly honest with you, because the issue is about putting Canadians to work. I'm not hung up on that.
