Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I will try to be brief in my answers. Mr. Chairman, Public Works and Services did write a letter to the honourable Member answering the questions on February 10th. In there, it lays out how this department does the contracting methods. The information is that, when contracts are awarded, this department advises the unsuccessful bidders and there are regret letters sent to the unsuccessful proposers and for the proposals. The officials are available to discuss issues with the unsuccessful proposers and give them feedback on areas where proposers may be able to improve on future proposals. This is how the department advises the unsuccessful bidders. Request for proposal goes out mainly to the consulting businesses, but ten percent of the total budget goes, and it is not strictly based on the financial, it also deals with the costs involved, building quality, project teams, schedules, training methodology on how they plan to do the proposal. A lot of this is weighted in there, so we try to be as open and transparent as we can. Thank you.
