Thank you for your question.
While the contract is being carried out, a contracting authority and a technical authority supervise the service being delivered or the product being made.
The first consideration would certainly be to report the situation to the client that hired the business under the contract.
The second consideration would be to contact Indigenous Services Canada to clarify the measures related to a joint venture business and find out what can be done.
If someone knows or suspects that something criminal is going on, they can certainly report that information to the RCMP.
The last point I wanted to raise is that we work very closely with the competition bureau and the RCMP. We set up a hotline for reporting fraud. Anyone in the supply chain who is experiencing a problem or believes they have a problem related to a contract or a supplier can call the hotline with their concerns. They can remain anonymous if they wish.
We look at those reports on a weekly basis. Sometimes, when combined with other information, they give us a clearer picture of what's going on.
