I will add this very quickly: The exceptions you highlighted are the exceptions that are ingrained in the PSPC policy itself. The best value, public interest, no capacity, undue delay—these are all prescribed exceptions that exist in PSPC's policy. Their application, of course, is subject to the minister in the policy. Without having the specific memo in front of me, I would expect that agriculture was simply speaking to the existing exceptions that are outlined under the policy.
