I'd like to highlight, as one of our colleagues, Mr. Schmale, mentioned, that 1,100 businesses were removed from the directory. To me, that looks like checks and balances are happening.
We've learned through witnesses here and at the government operations committee that there are many reasons for that. It could be that the structure of a business has changed. We heard from one witness that he continues to conduct business but is not in the directory because his status card was expired at the time. There are multiple reasons this might be happening.
I have about 30 seconds, but we're looking for some concrete recommendations moving forward. You've mentioned some specifically, I think, with regard to consultations on broader policy. That's really interesting and we need to look into it, but is there anything else we could do today to strengthen the integrity of the system to maintain the 5% procurement strategy?
