Thank you for the question.
Yes, we all want to improve systems and ways of doing things to protect Canadians' security.
Issues had been raised about Nuctech, and we had information on that company. Unfortunately, in terms of procurement, we had limited options to award the standing offer, since the company has shown that it met all the requirements. That is one of the areas we are currently looking into with our colleagues from other departments to determine whether there is a way to reduce risks.
That said, as I mentioned earlier, at the beginning of a procurement process, we cannot know what company will win it. So one of the ways used to reduce risk is to properly determine the security level at the outset of the process.
