According to the Office of the Auditor General's report, in April 2020, some new risks were identified, including less oversight, which could lead to errors or to poorly researched procurement decisions.
The Auditor General found that no mitigation strategy had been developed to counter those risks. As a result, although the department has managed to accelerate the procurement process, it has not always been able to show that it had provided the required oversight.
Since the audit, has PSPC thought about developing a mitigation strategy to manage the increased risks associated with procurement related to COVID‑19?
