This is a major ethical problem. We should look into it in greater detail. I think that the Standing Committee on Public Accounts will perhaps have to look at this issue in greater detail.
I have another question for Mr. Brazeau. Since the beginning of this meeting, a great deal has been said about contracts that have been awarded to various firms and individuals who should not have received them. What was the nature of these contracts? What exactly were these companies being asked to do? I would like to have a general idea. Contracts were awarded to Abotech, Anthony Koziol, Casey Computing Solutions. You were the contract manager. What was the exact nature of these contracts? Why were these companies awarded contracts? What were they being asked to do?
