Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming in today. I know that the Auditor General's department has been before numerous committees and at numerous meetings on this issue, and it is taking up an inordinate amount of your valuable time. I do appreciate your coming back again.
For the Treasury Board, we are most anxious to hear from you today.
I will be directing my questions to the Treasury Board, because we've had the AG's office here, as I said, multiple times. I'm not sure which of you will have the answers to these questions. I would just encourage the most appropriate staff member to respond with the answer.
Can you describe what procurement measures were brought in during the pandemic? Did these changes have an impact on the issue we are discussing today?
