Mr. Speaker, as ministers we receive a lot of communications between deputy ministers and ministers. I do not think I should reveal what discussions have taken place between me and my deputy minister.
I can tell the hon. member that the procurement strategy the government decides is very clear. The procurement strategy is open and transparent. It is open to everybody. As I said before, with one contract we had three possible bidders. With two contracts we have thirteen possible bidders. I think that is a very open and transparent procurement strategy.
