Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Brunetta, I would like to ask you a question, but first I'd like to quote part of your report:
Lastly, while the Treasury Board declared the use of standing offers and supply arrangements mandatory in 2005 for 10 commodity groups of commonly purchased goods and services, the study found that in 2008 more than 200,000 out of approximately 370,000 contracts (including amendments) under $25,000 were awarded through contractual means other than a standing offer or supply arrangement.
In other words, two thirds of contracts do not meet the requirements set out by the Treasury Board. Is that correct? Do you find that normal?
