Mr. Conacher, sorry to cut you off, but every second counts.
I understand what you're saying about the importance of launching a request for proposals. Other organizations also could have administered the program.
I'm going to get right to the point. There doesn't seem to have been any due diligence. The government awarded this money to a new entity associated with WE Charity, but that entity had no assets.
Do you think that was an appropriate way to proceed, or should strict parameters governing the contribution agreement have been put in place? I'm referring to due diligence checks and an oversight mechanism, for example.
In Democracy Watch's opinion, what mechanisms could have been put in place to make up for the fact that there wasn't a request for proposals?
