Thank you.
I would just like to remind our whole committee about the Treasury Board contracting policy. Ideally, we want government contracting to be conducted “in a manner that will stand the test of public scrutiny in matters of prudence and probity, facilitate access, encourage competition, and reflect fairness in the spending of public funds”. In other words, we want it to be fair, open and transparent.
Mr. Ossowski, in your view, has scrutiny of the ArriveCAN procurement process or allegations of wrongdoing from Botler revealed any shortcomings of the federal integrity regime for public procurement?
