Government Operations committee  I agree with that. The whole process from the time you're awarded a piece of work to the time you're able to start work on it can be quite lengthy, and that has huge impacts. Streamlining things like getting requisitions signed and getting contracts out the door is important. It is also really important to bridge the gap so that the average person in government knows when they can and cannot support, and under what conditions they can support a Canadian company publicly.

Government Operations committee  Sure, that's no problem. Hello, everyone, and good afternoon. My name is Monica Preston. I am the president of AMITA Corporation and one of three owners of AMITA and WorldReach Software, which is a subsidiary of AMITA Corporation. I would first like to thank the committee for inviting me here today.
