There's no question that we have very detailed and—as the Auditor General mentioned—considerable overlay of structures around procurement. We have IT project gating under the Treasury Board.
While many of these requirements were waived given the necessity for the speed of an emergency response, it is also true that we were required to document those measures. The Auditor General has pointed to the lack of documentation in this regard, and that is something that we have now reinforced in our training policies and procedures, including in our emergency standard operating procedures and pandemic preparedness planning, to ensure that this does not happen again.
This was the first time in the agency's history that we had faced a global pandemic. Our processes and procedures have been continually evolving after every crisis, and this one produced quite a number of lessons in terms of our governance and our documentation.
