Mr. Daniel Pilon (Director General, National Accommodations, Domestic Procurement and Asset Management, Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development) at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

The average time for a sole-source contract can take anywhere from two weeks to a month, depending on the nature and the complexity of the service. That's if it's a sole source. If it's a competitive process, then it does increase considerably beyond that point.

Thank you.
