Mr. Chair, in terms of honouring the municipalities' commitments, I would like to ask Mr. Généreux, who is a mayor at the present time, a very simple question. I was myself a mayor for four years. When tenders are invited, you have to set a deadline, usually at about 2:00 p.m., to give everyone time to get there. You set a very precise date and time to make sure that people have an equal opportunity to participate. The people who choose to submit an offer of services to a municipality have to abide by the date.
Mr. Généreux, when the people go past the date, they come in two minutes or even one minute after the time set, what happens?
