Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Wouters, you said in your opening statement that an overarching statement of principle on procurement allowed you to take further steps and follow up with respect to the Federal Accountability Act. You state the following:
[...] an overarching statement of principle on procurement that commits the government to promoting fairness, openness and transparency in the bidding process has been incorporated into legislation through the Financial Administration Act.
Is anything provided for cases where there was no call for tenders despite the fact that there should have been? The act states that contracts above $24,999 should be put out for tender. Pursuant to the legislation, there should be transparency in the bidding process, but is there?
