Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I really think one of the most damning findings in the Auditor General's report is that officials throughout government departments who are in charge of procurement did not understand the procurement rules. It's just mind-blowing that this is one of the key deficiencies that led to such a scathing report from the Auditor General.
Is this the best-kept secret—that there are these complex rules that nobody understands, so nobody documents anything? Was this known to PSPC prior to the internal probe, the Auditor General's probe and the ombudsman's probe?
