Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am just speaking to the inner workings of Public Works and Services, not so much to Health. In this case, I know that some of the contactors in town, after learning about the sole-source, went to the person who's typically responsible for the letting of these types of contracts in Public Works, and that's the purchasing manager of IT equipment - and I may not have the title correct - and this gentlemen told them he wasn't involved in this specific process and wasn't the person to talk to. So it seemed to them that this had not gone by the normal course. Can the deputy confirm that?
