There are two things.
First, we are the major agent for the Government of Canada in procurement, so the lion's share of procurement runs through our department. Also, of course, we are the custodian of office buildings for the Government of Canada, so certainly we've always had integrity provisions associated with acquisition. We have, in the summer of this year, strengthened our integrity provisions to ensure, to the extent possible, that we are not engaging in business with companies that have serious criminal convictions.
We extended the list of offences that would render a company or an individual ineligible to bid on a contract to include money laundering, participation in criminal organizations, income or an excise tax evasion, bribing officials, and drug trafficking. These measures are now in effect, and we've extended them—they apply not only to our contracting, but to our major real property functions as well.
Finally, I would note that on contracting we also have introduced and have made great use of fairness monitors to oversee the major procurement. There is a third party outside the department, but contracted by us, to provide an outside assurance that a contracting procedure has been fair, open, and transparent, and to provide a report at the end of the process to attest to that.
