Andrew Saxton at the Government Operations and Estimates Committee

Thank you, Chair, and thanks to our witnesses for being here today.

Here's my first question. The Auditor General, in her report, found that the steps with regard to the tendering process were not sufficient to offset an unfair advantage to the incumbent bidder, and that the process needed to ensure that all bidders in the tendering process had access to correct and complete information.

Can you please tell us what your department has done to ensure that the 2009 contract addressed these issues and concerns raised by the Auditor General?
