Yes, I know that, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to ask my questions quickly, but I would like to get answers in writing.
At the beginning of the pandemic, respirators were purchased at 181% of the normal price. A contract for $237 million was awarded to FTI Professional Grade. How much of that contract was ultimately paid out? Of the 10,000 respirators ordered, how many have been received and how many are sitting in government sheds?
On information technology, Shared Services Canada is asking for $2.6 billion. What are the reasons for this 37% increase over last year?
What amounts are going to Cisco or a company that sells Cisco products?
What are the government's intentions regarding the awarding of contracts to IBM for the possible implementation of a digital passport?
Time and time again over the past two years, the outdated computer systems have been cited as the reason for the delays at the Canada Revenue Agency and at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, among others. It also explained, in part, why files could not be checked to see if a person was committing fraud or was a victim of fraud.
How soon do you expect the systems to be fully functional and no longer considered outdated? Finally, what are the plans to avoid further obsolescence of the systems in the future?
I would like to get answers in writing. There are six or seven questions, I know it is a lot, but I am aware of the time. As I only had two minutes, you would not have had time to answer even one of my questions.
I thank you again for taking the time to be with us during the two-hour session of the committee. I am very grateful to you.
I wish you all a great weekend.
