In context
“frame. And obviously, on or under budget is something we're always focused on. Operator: Next, we'll go to Paul Cheng with Scotiabank. Paul Cheng : First, hopefully, that also won't use my quota, yet I want to complement IR for the new format on the call as well as the increased disclosure, really appreciate.

And obviously, strategically, the timing of when we do the engineering, when we go out to procurement, is something that we're always looking at and taking into consideration. And then I mentioned the fact that doing our own procurement globally to make sure that we're getting globally competitive bids is something else we do.
