I have two questions stemming from that. Why did you get the contract, if that wasn't your role? And secondly, if it isn't the role of Treasury Board to assess that, if it's the role of other departments who had signed off on this and who had said it was okay, then why are we getting this explanation?
I know it's difficult for you to make that hypothesis as to why the minister then would be seemingly stepping outside the role of the department to make this determination.
Let me ask the question specifically of you: Why would you have gotten the contract if it wasn't your role to do that?
