Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Tassé, thank you for being here today. I heard your testimony on the importance of doing proper due diligence. As I understand it, this must be enhanced during a pandemic, when things are being done more quickly. In a case like this, no tendering was done, as has been pointed out, because the government felt it did not have the time to do it. I am not sure about that, but that is what we were told. So they moved more quickly. My understanding is that due diligence would have been more important in this case.
The ministers whom we have questioned to date and who approved this agreement never saw a due diligence report. They all told us that they had assumed one had been done.
Do you find that disturbing?
