I guess that's the catch, isn't it? We try to catch all of these, and they're nearly impossible to track because they're simply not being tracked. The oversight simply doesn't exist. So that's nearly impossible for us. I can't even really give you a fair answer about these sorts of contracts, because my members are dealing with what they actually see, that tangible work that's being done right at the department, that I can speak to more. But on these other contracts or even most contracts we ATIP the heck out of National Defence and we get very little back. When it does come back, much later, it's all redacted. It's nearly impossible to make head or tail out of it. When we ask the department for it, we get very little from them.
