Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a major project and so we will be organizing it in a very formal and comprehensive way. There will be a project terms of reference, there will be a steering committee established chaired by, I expect, the secretary of the Financial Management Board, but also made up of deputy ministers and other users. In the secretariat itself, we have one or two positions that will be dedicated throughout the life of the project. In addition, we expect we'll have to pull together a project team. We will be looking for recruits from across the organization to form that project team, and then we will still have to supplement that with contracted resources because the implementation period will take two to two-and-a-half years to complete, and we will have to draw upon levels of expertise that we don't have in house. We would hope, though, and we would intend, through the process, to do an awful lot of staff development, knowledge transfer from the contracted resources to our own staff so that afterwards we don't have an ongoing dependency with any particular supplier or contractor.
