Mr. Chairman, I thank the Member for that clarification and appreciate that we're not strictly talking about the one point of contact for procurement, but we're talking about the BIP and ensuring that it's applied properly in the region, if I understand the Member. So if there are concerns with how BIP is being applied, the regional superintendent would be the one point of contact in the region if there are concerns. If they can't be dealt with there, there is provision under BIP for something called the Senior Management Preference Committee. That's a group of deputies from the main contracting departments who sit down if there are concerns and ensure that BIP is being properly applied, but I think for the Member's purposes, it's not necessary to worry about how that committee functions. The regional superintendent is the one point of contact. If he needs to bring something further, he would bring it to that committee. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
