Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Reza, the minister was very keen to pass the floor to you when I was trying to ask him questions. I'd like to hear your take on the answer he was not giving. Can you at least shed some light on the question I was trying to get to?
Let me frame it a bit: I'm trying to understand what your department does. You're the department responsible for procurement. In this highly publicized, contentious case—the procurement of the ArriveCAN app—we heard from other officials that your department was.... CBSA brought them a solution and they signed off on it.
My expectation is that your department has some role, in terms of understanding the decision-making process, looking at value for money and trying to understand what is and is not an appropriate procurement. However, in the very troubling case of the ArriveCAN procurement, the response we're getting from your officials and minister is that it's somebody else's problem.
Is it somebody else's problem, or should your department have had something to say about, or do with, that decision?
