Thank you Mr. Chair.

What I can tell you is that between 2016 and 2021 the department actually had to go to Treasury Board Secretariat a total of 44 times to get transaction authorities to go forward with different transactions, such as entering into a lease transaction and/or purchasing a building. Thank you.
