Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being here.
I am going to try to cover questions for most if not all of the panel.
Ms. McCallion, I'll start with you.
This came up through Monsieur Blanchette's question to you. In your comments, you recommend that OSME should perhaps be under Industry, not under PWGSC. I heard Ms. Abu-Hakima say that she probably doesn't agree with that, and I'm not sure that I do either.
The role of OSME, of course, is to advocate for SMEs within the federal procurement process. PWGSC is responsible for federal procurement. It would seem to me as if that's the right fit. If it moved to Industry, would the mandate remain the same or would it change? The second part of the question is, would you be concerned about a potential dilution of the mandate with a move out of PWGSC?
