Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to go back to a subject raised earlier, namely, the procurement policy.
Ms. Treurnicht, you spoke about a needs-based or value-based procurement system. You recommend a value-based system. However, have you looked at the possibility that it would be restrictive, given our trade agreements, to have procurement policies that are too strict or “Canada-centric”, if I may use this expression? If our procurement policies are too strict and if they shut out goods from other countries too much, couldn't they be challenged by our trading partners?
