Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
One of the common themes in the reports of the Auditor General and the procurement ombud is the lack of documentation. There was no written justification for many decisions. According to paragraph 1.69 of the Auditor General's report, there was a lack of specifics in task authorizations: “many of the task authorizations...several of which were co-signed by Public Services and Procurement Canada, did not include specific and detailed task descriptions and deliverables.” I believe the Auditor General called it some of the worst, if not the worst, bookkeeping she has ever seen.
What is PSPC, as the contracting authority, doing to ensure that this documentation will be appropriately managed moving forward?
