I really appreciate your French. Thank you very much for that.
You spoke about a number of your priorities. However, according to Public Services and Procurement Canada's 2017-18 departmental plan, the office of the procurement ombudsman must be independent.
What will that independence look like, in terms of being transparent with other government departments? How could you improve upon past practices?
How do you intend to assert your leadership, as ombudsman, with respect to your office's independence and transparency?
