Once we had secured the contract, we signed a contract with a Mr. Taylor. Everyone had their copy of the contract. I had the consultant sign a contract for the work which was to be done. The consultant had to report to a client of the department. Once a month, the client sent me an invoice and a sheet from the department indicating that the work had indeed been carried out. I then sent the invoice to Consulting and Audit Canada and paid the consultant as soon as the client sent me the official documents indicating that the work had been carried out.
