From a combat readiness perspective, we maintain the forces necessary on our bases and wings to be able to project force and support those Forces wherever they are in the world. Whether it's maintenance or the service battalion activities, other than maintenance we maintain the ability to do so. We do not deploy Forces anywhere in the world who have a maintenance requirement and not maintain them. Even on operations, such as when we were in Afghanistan, where we can, Canada and other allies will contract out third-line or depot-type maintenance while we're on operations.
But we maintain the ability to deploy and be self-sufficient for all of our operations in our maintenance capacity. So anything that's contracted in is contracted as a result of either a special initiative or a refit. If it's ongoing maintenance, again, I think this is something you may want to talk about with ADM materiel.
As far as the contracting goes, the contracting follows the government contracting regulations. Again, I think Mr. Finn would probably be best suited to describe the details on that.
