That's very helpful to know. I think we'll ask for the production of those documents as our committee proceeds, hopefully, with our study.
If the Government of Canada does not agree that the Department of National Defence didn't perform basic due diligence on this $25 billion-plus deal and simply move it to Public Works without actually taking responsibility and saying, “You're right, Auditor General; we didn't do this”, I and other Canadians are concerned that this whole notion of learned best practices will fall by the wayside.
What advice would you give this committee, if any, in terms of a study of this particular issue? What specifically should we be looking for in terms of calling forward witnesses who could provide us with advice on best practices and how exactly to conduct a procurement of this magnitude?
