Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for appearing before us again. My colleague Mr. Kramp congratulates your frequent appearances before committee. I would prefer to speak to you in the House sometimes about it, but again, you are in the unelected Senate and not in the House of Commons. But needless to say, I am very pleased to have you here today.
One of the issues surrounding your role in government is to ensure transparency and accountability in the very expensive contracts awarded by the federal government. That's why I'm interested in your 2007 decision not to take up the media's call for an investigation into the CGI-TPG contract controversy. I wonder why you chose not to review it, at least, and why it went ahead. Was there any particular reason for that decision?
