Thank you, Chair.

I will be splitting my time with my colleague, Ms. Kusie.

Thank you as well to the witnesses for joining us. You are a fairly new office, given your creation in May of this year. I simply would note that it was in fact the deputy minister for PSPC, Arianne Reza, who stated on June 3 that the creation of OSIC would help the department “respond more effectively to cases of supplier misconduct and unethical behaviour”.

I'm guess what I'm hearing today is that the work you will be doing is very reliant on whether departments refer these cases to your office. Is that correct?
