Thank you for the question.
This element has been picked up by the Auditor General, and rightly so. A new disclosure policy came out in 2004. Before that, we were disclosing against another policy. We were doing it, but no question about it, there was confusion in the department on the requirement to disclose task authorizations versus the full value of the contract. People knew they had to disclose the value of the contract above the threshold of $10,000. That was understood.
What was not clear in their minds was whether they had to, against that contract, disclose the task authorizations one after the other. Some people did. The majority did not. That's been clarified with the Treasury Board. We're now compliant with full disclosure of the task authorizations, the amendments, and the full value of the contract.
