Thank you, Mr. Christopherson, for that.
I am going to follow in the same vein regarding internal monitoring. Mr. Matthews just talked about this in reply to Mr. Massé's questions.
I would like to go back to examples you provided in your replies, because one thing concerns me. It is all well and good to say that we are going to do internal audits, but how will you do that? I know that those details are determined internally, but we the members of the committee do not have those details. That is the issue. Often if follow-up is not done properly internally, that is where things go wrong.
Ms. Lemay, I know that you have been wanting to say something for a while. Just before, I simply want to give you some idea of where I am going with this.
In a reply regarding employee training and the management of conflicts of interest, you said that in January 2017 another column would be added to declare any conflicts of interest, and that people can choose between “none”, “real”, “potential”, or “apparent”. That was the only answer you gave us.
That worries me a bit. I would like to hear about the follow-up. As you said, you award 50,000 contracts a year. There have to be impeccable internal controls and that is what concerns me.
I know you wanted to speak. I will give you a minute and then I will take back the floor.
