Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here, Mr. Jimenez.
In one of your responses, you talked about the process dating back six, seven or eight years, meaning before the COVID‑19 pandemic. That surprises me. It seems like a long process. How could there have been more planning done to ensure the use of Canadian products or Canadian companies? Was this process already under way eight years ago, or did you just realize, during the bidding process, that Canadian companies couldn't bid?
