It's a little worrying. The fairness monitor is there to track fairness of procurement processes and various other matters. When parliamentary personnel, i.e., a clerk, can't contact the office and get an answer in a seven-day period, it's worrisome, not only for their appearance here in the future but for fairness in general.
We're talking about a lot of public funds. Obviously the Auditor General as well assumes that this person is in place and that this office is functioning. It's troubling. It seems to me that this underscores the importance of having them appear, and doing everything possible to have them appear. I'd like to get some explanation for their seeming inactivity in recent times.
Do we actually have a fairness monitor in place at this point?
