The organization strengthening and optimization of operational efficiencies that Quess has undertaken over the last few quarters has shown results, and we expect this trend to continue. Also, the government's focus on jobs will create a beneficial external environment for Quess and our demonstrated execution skills should help us leverage the opportunity that is now opening up.”
