Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I am fundamentally perplexed about the role that your department is supposed to be playing. If the decisions are ultimately made by the department—in this case, the CBSA—and if you provide a recommendation to not proceed with a procurement but the department does it anyway.... If you are a minister, the minister who's supposed to be responsible for all this, and you are not being briefed on a core file....
I guess I'm just trying to understand what you do. What value are you adding, as a department, to the Government of Canada?
