Thank you, Mr. Williams.
Thank you, Commissioner Busson.
Just before we move to Mr. Christopherson, I will point out to Mr. Williams and the commissioner that this issue may be covered in paragraph 9.34 of the original Auditor General's report. And perhaps I'll just take a minute and read it:
The Director of the National Compensation Policy Centre (NCPC) instructed the insurance carrier, Great-West Life, to begin preparing for outsourcing the administration of the RCMP employee insurance plans. This preparatory work was performed by Great-West Life without a contract—contrary to contracting regulations. After working on the project for several months, the RCMP requirements changed and Great-West Life determined that it could not provide all the required services within the specified delivery date. It was persuaded to act as a go-between for payments to another firm, Morneau Sobeco, which took on the job of administering the insurance plans for the RCMP. The RCMP then paid Morneau Sobeco for the firm's own requirements definition phase of the contract, indicating that the contractor started again from the very beginning.
So in other words, they paid for it twice. That may be covered.
Anyway, we're going to move to Mr. Christopherson.
