Thank you for the question.
In response to our recommendation, the secretariat of the Treasury Board has described the change to the approach that they have put in place. Again, it's based entirely on the cost of the campaigns. From our view, other considerations, such as the subject matter of the advertisement campaign or the timing or audience reach, are important to consider in terms of the risk that partisanship might be present in advertising.
The question you raised about the ability of departments to break campaigns into smaller pieces, for example, could in fact bring those campaigns below the $250,000 threshold. That is exactly why we were recommending a risk-based approach to the external review.
