Thanks, Mr. Chair.
PSPC is familiar with all of the contractors that we have arrangements with. For confidentiality reasons, the Government of Canada doesn't disclose the names of companies that have worked as subcontractors for one of its suppliers, as it is considered third party information. Within the IT industry, it's customary for firms to subcontract work or if Canada doesn't have a direct contract relationship with those subcontractors.
For an IT professional services contract with personal security requirements, Canada does verify the security clearance of all individual resources proposed by the contractor. Each of them gets an individual security clearance check, no different from any other employee or contractor working on a government priority.
