I am aware that contracting is Ms. Anand's responsibility. However, the Treasury Board prepares the guidelines.

For instance, can you tell me whether or not your policy allows a shell company like FTI Professional Grade to be awarded a $237 million contract for ventilators made by Mr. Baylis's company?

Does the policy not state that it is important to “ensure that the fees paid do not exceed the appropriate market rate for the service provided”? How can the failure to comply with Treasury Board directives be explained?
