Thank you for that.
I'm also curious to see if there are any further comments.
Mr. Fragiskatos, I really liked your line of questioning in terms of pulling together a perspective on trends, on being able to use the collective knowledge for a more effective use of hard-working taxpayers' dollars, frankly.
When I sit here as a parliamentarian and I look at you, I don't envy the position you're in. We're pushing you hard. We're pushing you hard on issues of value, and the Auditor General is pushing you hard on issues of value. In your own personal lives, I suspect you're interested in getting value. When you see some of what's uncovered in an Auditor General's report like this, your perspective somehow gets a little lost. This should not happen, if we could all agree on that premise, and yet it's happened.
As an extension of my colleague's earlier comments—and I said it earlier in a different way—what is really learned here? Can we not apply the simple value propositions that each of us use in our lives to make sure these things don't happen? Is it unreasonable to ask that question, as a parliamentarian, as a person who's asking for scrutiny here in a very hard, difficult way? These seem to me to be elements that should be worked into every discussion of every procurement of every item, right down to the boots the soldiers wear.
