Absolutely. It gives me pleasure to be able to refer back to work that the committee has done. I know that at least two committee members were involved in the review in 2018. It was exactly that. It was work that was done as per recommendations made by this committee as to how to improve the procurement system to allow for greater participation of small and medium-sized businesses, women-owned businesses and indigenous businesses. One of my suggestions would be to ensure follow-up on those recommendations. I actually reviewed many of those recommendations last night in preparation for this. It might be an opportunity for the committee to revisit the recommendations made in 2018.
On January 31st, 2024. See this statement in context.
