Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will share my time with my colleague down the aisle.
I have a question with regard to the internal regulations as they relate to procurement. I know the Red Tape Reduction Act covers some parts of procurement, but I'm looking for information. When government is looking to buy, and there's a lot of back and forth between Treasury Board and perhaps PSPC, do we cover that cost? Do we counter those regulations in place? How do we communicate that to businesses?
For example, if we are buying wires for the Government of Canada, there can be a lot of back and forth with Treasury Board. Is that covered under the Red Tape Reduction Act?
