Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions will be for the Infrastructure Canada officials.
As you said at the outset, the report gives you an opportunity to learn and improve your practices. I looked over the detailed action plan you submitted in response to the Auditor General's recommendations, and I have a few questions.
The recommendation in paragraph 4.62 of the report indicates that the method for evaluating proposals for public-private partnership contracts should include the development of assessment criteria and the determination of evidence required to ensure that bidders meet the requirements. You stated that, next year, you will work with Public Services and Procurement Canada, or PSPC, to review the evaluation approach.
Do you already work with the department on a consistent basis? Given your experience, what changes do you think could be made?
I know you're doing a study and will be submitting the results, but do you already have a sense of the changes that could be made in light of this recommendation?
