Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Through you to our witnesses, I will be asking questions of Ms. Reza, but if others have the answers, certainly they should feel free to pass those on.
Earlier this year, reports from the Auditor General and the procurement ombudsman on the arrive scam debacle raised serious concerns about contracting, particularly in the sole-sourcing of several contracts.
Today, you're here appearing on the heels of yet another report from the procurement ombud, which raises serious concerns in regard to contracting in relation to McKinsey.
Of deep concern is the OPO's comments regarding the national master standing offer, or NMSO, and that none of the call-ups had any justification for sole-sourcing, yet your department approved them all, shovelling out tens of millions of dollars to this company. Who signed off on these call-ups?
