I think our committee is concerned that the national security exceptions are being overused, particularly by Shared Services. On the other hand, there might be a need for some other type of mechanism for procurements that need to be done quickly or for some reason don't fit into the framework that's been set up by trade agreements.
I'm curious about what those alternative mechanisms might be. I think this would be of particular interest to provincial and municipal governments, if they are doing procurement that now will be subject to trade agreements but have probably less ability to say that national security is their concern.
