Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll go right to it.
I've noted that over time there have been some improvements to ensure the integrity of the procurement process. What troubles me is this is by code of practice.
My question to you, Madam d'Auray, is this. Why have no regulations ever been promulgated under sections 41 or 42 of the Financial Administration Act to make these measures legally binding regardless of whether they are included in a code that is attached to a contract? Why have no amendments to the Financial Administration Act been made to add the offences that are in the code of conduct?
