Thanks, Mr. Chair. You're doing a fabulous job.

Minister, welcome back. Although we have our disagreements, obviously, I'm sincerely glad to see you back and doing well.

I want to talk about SNC‑Lavalin. Your government gave a $150-million sole-source contract to SNC‑Lavalin for mobile health units. The issue is that no province asked for them. PHAC did not ask for them. Public health did not ask for these mobile health units, but they were declared such an urgency that they had to be sole-sourced to SNC‑Lavalin.

Did this $150 million go through the Treasury Board process?
