As far as this issue is concerned, we have a concern with regard to the procurement process. We have no issue with regard to whether or not Canadian companies can compete. The government approach has been unusual, and we have consistently indicated that we want a fair, open, and transparent process. The issue has nothing to do with whether you can compete or not; we know that you can. You've already demonstrated in your comments today, gentlemen, that you in fact have been able to. I take your points about some of the companies you were with when you were overseas.
This is a general question, Mr. Chairman.
Has your company received any contracts or bid opportunities to date that are part of a standard industrial regional benefit program, wherein a 100% return is guaranteed to Canadian industry? And in your opinion, has your own organization and Canadian industry as a whole been well served to date by the current policy that IRBs be a requirement of government procurement?
This is to any of the gentlemen.
