I think we will be seeing more of that because one of the arguments the company in question is making is that it had a legitimate expectation to be treated in a particular way.

I ask about the original case management system, CMS, although I know it was before the witness's time. I do not know if there is anybody else on the call who can answer this for me. Am I correct in saying the original CMS was also given the go-ahead by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, OGCIO? The OGCIO has given the go-ahead for the tendering or procurement of a new system. It seems the Tax Appeals Commission has given much consideration and thought to how to improve the system but has the OGCIO done similar work with its tendering and procurement processes? Was it involved with the original CMS that had to be repudiated in 2018? It seems it must also do a review.
