Does Treasury Board, as the keeper and guardian of the public purse, ever do any follow-up on the billions of dollars being spent?
I want to give you an example. We had a controversy that we actually studied in this committee. It was about PSPC and Global Affairs sending a contract to a Chinese state-owned tech company to do security work for our embassies. The government then hired Deloitte and paid them a quarter of a million dollars to do basically a four-page report with a recommendation to not contract out sensitive security tech to despotic regimes.
Who is overseeing this? It's Treasury Board's responsibility overall, but who is overseeing this massive increase in outsourcing to ensure that Canadians are getting value for their money and that they are actually following the Treasury Board guidelines, if Treasury Board itself is not doing it?
