Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here and sharing this testimony with us today. I very much appreciate it.
I want to talk a bit about how ArriveCAN, while being the issue we're dealing with, is clearly part of a bigger and very broken system.
I want to make some connections between the audit conducted on the government's contract with McKinsey, which was carried out last year, and the report that's in front of us today. I think there are important and similar conclusions in both reports that demonstrate that both Conservative and Liberal governments have had some real problems with giving contracts to either their corporate insider friends or folks who know how the system works.
Ms. Hogan, your report on McKinsey found that administrative requirements were not consistently followed, and your report on ArriveCAN found that practices to manage the contracts were missing “at the most basic levels”.
Are you confident that the Treasury Board is taking enough of a leadership role over departments to implement procurement frameworks as it promised to do in response to your report?
