I will start, and then I will turn to Madame Poulin, who is on the line with us.
OSIC is a relatively new office, established in early June. Its intent is to broaden what we had initially in place around our capacity to suspend and debar suppliers. Right now, we have the latitude to look at where there are proceeds of terrorism, money laundering or human trafficking—a whole slew of different areas that we can now look at in terms of what's happening in the federal procurement system.
We are now encouraging all client departments to write to us, contact us, when they suspect fraud or when they've sent something to the RCMP. It is our intent to look at the federal procurement system as a whole and identify areas where we can suspend and then potentially debar suppliers. This is a much broadened scope. It's relatively new, so we're building those muscles. We don't necessarily need a client department to tell us there's a problem. It is our first line of defence.
