Okay.
Coming back to you, Ms. Hogan, one of the things that has been written about in national papers, and of course is a concern to many, is the fact that so many contracts have been awarded to Cisco from within the SSC. It's been called “a pattern of dependency by Ottawa on a single network provider that has all but shut out competing bids”.
That's a big deal.
When it comes to procurement practices, then, on behalf of the Canadian taxpayer I have to wonder, are there strict processes being followed? Are there consistent metrics to make sure that contracts actually are being awarded in a fair manner?
