We are already in the process of implementing almost all of the recommendations for our department. Several of these recommendations deal with simplifying the federal procurement system. Two of our activities in this area would be of interest to the committee. The first is the implementation of our electronic procurement system, which we are implementing to simplify the process for suppliers. We want them to be able to register and find procurement opportunities without difficulty.
The second is about simplifying contracts. One of the recommendations and some of the comments we received mentioned that it was not always easy or obvious to understand procurement-related documents.
So we are addressing two elements. On the one hand, we want to simplify how documents are presented and how they can be found and accessed so that suppliers can easily find the information they need. On the other hand, we are looking at how we can simplify the text. We've been told in the past, and we're still being told, that the information is still quite technical and uses legal language. So we're looking at how we can make these documents easier to understand.
