Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Good day, Mr. Flaherty.

With respect to the $122,000 contract MacPhie & Company received to prepare a communications plan and advice for Budget 2007, you acknowledged that certain administrative rules were not followed.

For this year, 2008, did you require similar work to be done by a communications firm, or was it done in-house?
