Thank you, Mr. Speaker. These are absolutely noble aspirations. My question is, when we go to a call for contracts. Let me back up for a bit. When we go to an RFP or tender call for contracts, there is an estimated amount. Somebody has something in mind. Public Works and Services goes to proposal call and it comes in higher, they go back and they negotiate with the person putting in the proposal, if it is less money. I am saying, I repeat my question again, did the department have any figure in mind when they went to RFP or was it wide open? Do we not have a budgetary process? Was this in the budget? How much was it budgeted at?
