Thank you. I'll do my best.
Basically, the integrity regime is a suite of administrative tools to protect the integrity of procurement and real property agreements. It was put in place in July 2015 by the previous government. The purpose was to take action against improper, unethical and illegal business practices and at the same time hold companies accountable for their misconduct. Doing this, effectively addressing corporate wrong-doing, really protects the integrity of markets and addresses barriers to figuring out how to deal with these companies.
When I became minister of PSPC, the plans for the review of the integrity regime were very much under way from my department. That was, if you recall, in July 2017. That meant that we were consulting, and we were updating the integrity regime which had been introduced two years earlier.
We did a lot of industry engagement. As I understand, it was done by the previous government before the integrity regime was put into place. We kept that industry engagement ongoing. It's been this kind of iterative process. They had what was called an industy engagement group, and they met with the previous government twice before July 2015.
We continued to meet with this industry engagement group. We heard about a number of—I don't know if I would elevate them to concerns—challenges that they were facing, both in understanding the goals and what was happening within the regime, and also in terms of what was perceived by industry to be a rigidity in the policy itself.
Based on feedback from the industry, we decided to do a broader consultation on corporate wrongdoing, including the integrity regime. That included 70 submissions, and over 300 organizations and individuals who participated in the consultations. We really took a massive public approach to all of the amendments.
Do you want me to go into the amendments that are proposed?
