Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Fundamentally, your PSPC department is responsible for assessing value for money in the context of procurement. I understand that to be part of your responsibilities.
I've been able to find a list of apps that were developed under the Harper Conservative government. These apps are complex in nature: the CRA Business Tax Reminders app, CBSA's eDeclaration app, the Canadian Armed Forces app, etc. All of these apps were developed, in most cases, for well under half a million dollars. In one case, it was closer to $3 million.
This particular app was developed at costs that were dramatically out of proportion with the costs of other apps developed under the previous government. Doesn't this suggest that your department failed to do its job in terms of achieving value for money?
Ms. Durigan, did you want to intervene on that?
