This is so important, and it's so good to point to.
There shouldn't be. We don't want it to be the case that there is political interference in the choice of which company is awarded a contract. That's why accountability requires ministers and their offices to detach themselves from political interference in contractual arrangements, including the choice of contractors at the federal government level. We expect that to be the case.
That's also the case at PSPC and elsewhere in the federal government.
