Thank you.
I'm very pleased to have you come before us this morning. I certainly think the role of a procurement ombudsman is essential, first in guaranteeing transparency and second in being able to address complaints before they spiral out and we end up getting hit with costly lawsuits. I think from your background that you have the expertise to do this.
My question is about the limitations on your office--$25,000 for goods, $100,000 for services. We've had complaints in contracts into the millions and the hundreds of millions of dollars. Are we to assume that those will continue to spiral out the way they normally do and end up in court?
