Thank you. We will wait with bated breath for Mathieu Ravignat.
Thank you very much to the witnesses. We'd like to have you for longer, but I guess you're not allowed to, so we'll try to be efficient in our questions. It's nice to see you all again.
I will try to skirt around the particular incident of Envoy because it is being litigated, but what I am interested in.... I'll ask a very specific question first and then I have more of a broad-based one.
The government contracts regulation, SOR/87-402, section 18, makes it mandatory that any contractor making a false declaration in information provided in the bid is deemed in an act of default. The government is then given the discretionary power to terminate a contract and recover any money given out.
Has Public Works ever terminated a contract under that rule, and in what situation would Public Works consider terminating a contract under that regulation?
