Thanks for the question, Mr. Chair.
In effect, the waiving of the individual security clearance would be highly situationally dependent. Without the details of that particular task authorization, I can't speak to the specifics of why that might have been the case.
Generally speaking, how these professional services contacts are used and how the resources in them are employed is a business requirement that's established by the client departments we work with. I'm assuming this was a CBSA contract, but the specifics of why waiving that might be appropriate in a unique case would be operationally dependent and they would have to speak to that.
