No, our conclusion was that there was frequent disregard for the rules across nine departments and agencies and 10 Crown corporations spread out over the 12-year period. There isn't one year that sticks out more than others except near the end, when the national master standing offer was used for almost 19 contracts. In our view, the justification for using that was not well-documented. There was a slight spike there, but there was still a lack of following the rules across the whole 12-year period.
