There's a whole host of safeguards and principles that we've operated on from the get-go. One of them was that information systems of this nature should be coming out of the private sector. We are not funding governments to build huge bureaucracies to develop these systems.
The other issue is, we wanted to make sure of two things. We wanted to make sure we had a strong and vibrant software industry in Canada that could sell globally, given that some of the issues would be clearly on the leading edge. We also wanted to make sure that we could replicate these systems across the country, and that's exactly what we're doing. You can't take government systems and try to replicate them. Who maintains the system at the end? So the private sector has a role to play.
One of the differences that differentiated us from the efforts in England and other places was that we worked closely with the private sector, telling them where the puck was going to be: what the requirements are, what the standards are, what the availabilities are, when the provinces are going to be ready to start to tender out, to start to get their RFPs. This way they can bring their resources and their intellects to bear.
There's a major report by an international group, which reports on IT systems, that gives us high praise for the blueprint and how it's been orchestrated. The vendors have been working with that blueprint as they develop the system.
