Again, I can't speak to the intent of what they were doing. What I can tell you is that at times we did have to go to emails to find some evidence of discussions or exchanges. At times, some of the documentation was maintained by Public Services and Procurement Canada, and it was provided to us, but all of that should have been maintained by the Canada Border Services Agency, as they were the ones entering into the contractual relationship with a vendor and they had an obligation to make sure that was properly documented to show accountability for the use of public funds.
