It's certainly inappropriate, President. It's inappropriate that this took place. It's not “appropriate”. I would fail to use that word....
I want to understand why it is that the Public Health Agency undertook a process that didn't involve the appropriate level of good governance. It's established in the report that, during COVID-19, the processes the Treasury Board undertook to waive or make more expedient some of the outputs of the government at this time were not acceptable. It is not an acceptable excuse to avoid good governance models.
Again, how is it that the Public Health Agency, knowing that fact—which is a well-established principle of the Treasury Board—was able to come to an agreement with the Canada Border Services Agency without a formal agreement on governance? Is this directly a failure?
