I'm trying to understand, and I hope you can sympathize with Canadians who are trying to understand, this relationship. How is it that non-competitive contracts were awarded to three groups in particular that were known to each other and that you said were known amongst the community? I'm trying to understand why this network exists. Is it because of GC Strategies, as a conduit for subcontractors, because of their knowledge of subcontractors, that they could secure government contracts? Was that known to the community? Was that also well known?
