Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Deputy Minister and team, for being here today.
There's a lot of discussion around this table about procurement and fraud, detection of fraud and safeguarding our position to ensure that we take the proper measures going forward. Certainly, in the 2024-25 departmental plan, a lot of concern was noted by the department. This has been initiated by the department. Of course, there is a lot of discussion among independent officers of the Crown, be it the ombudsman or the Auditor General.
I have a couple of questions in regard to this.
I guess what I'm trying to get down to is engagement by the committee versus internal investigations that are ongoing. Do the targets of your investigations always know they're being investigated?
