It would have been either the chief financial officer or the senior full-time financial officer who was in charge of financial services, or the person in charge of assets and procurement for the RCMP. If they failed to brief Mr. Gauvin, he could have been kept in the dark. However, I would say that was a highly sensitive area at the time, with respect to the pension outsourcing.
It depends on when the audit was done. It depends on when the criminal investigation was done. From my experience, if that was high-risk, which it was, there would have been an active monitoring unit to review how those things were allocated and how the contracts were awarded.
