Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our department officials for joining us again today.
Elected officials come and go. I think I've heard from you that this procurement process goes back to 1995. We've heard from other witnesses in this committee about it going back to 2003, and the procurement process has not changed. My concern is that government officials have often been around for decades and they have built relationships with people. There are subcontractors and contractors. I know that concern has been raised by some of our friends across the way as well about the potential for collusion and favouritism.
I think you mentioned training that's being done on the standards for procurement and some that changes that are being made. What is PSPC doing to address the recurring issue of documentation missing from the files? I think we even heard from the minister that a new AI process might be implemented. Is that something you can give us some knowledge around?
