Okay, good. I'm glad you had that opportunity.
If I can, I'd like to move to the auditor's report. It says in here on page 11, paragraph 9.26, that the report concluded--that's the audit report--“that the contracting processes used by the NCPC”--the National Compensation Policy Centre--“would not pass the test of public scrutiny”. It found that “ for a majority of these contracts, the NCPC Director did not apply a fair or competitive contracting process. He established contracts without competition and circumvented controls designed to ensure fairness, equity, and the lowest price.”
Sir, as the chief financial officer, where were you?
