Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses.
This is obviously a complex matter. At the same time, when you read through the ombudsman's report, it's pretty scathing about the procurement process. You've accepted the findings of the ombudsman. What I'd like to get at is why those shortcomings exist.
For instance, why is the lack of documentation occurring? Is it sloppiness? Is it because there's a lack of respect for the stated requirements that are laid out in the procurement process? Is there something more nefarious going on? What's the reason for the shortcomings?
