Here's where I can go internationally. You heard me make reference to the United States and how they go about invoking the national security exception and what that means domestically for them. They actually allow for additional oversight from the GAO, the entity within the United States that could go in and actually verify the justifications in place for directing some of these procurements.
In Canada, it's not as clear. The CITT does not have the authority to review the justification, perhaps, of the invocation of the national security exception, which in and of itself is not a justification to direct a contract, but sometimes forms part of the analysis that underpins why that contract might in fact be directed.
