I have been informed by the clerk that this is a budget only, Monsieur Laforest. I had no idea how much the per diem was—I know now—and this would depend on how many days we would need him, how many days he would work for us, and where it went.
This is not a set contract for $24,965. It would depend on the number of days. Concerning the expense budget, we have no idea whether it would be $4,000 or $2,000. All we know is it cannot exceed $4,000.
