Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I welcome the witnesses.
My first question will be very short and very direct.
Mr. Matthews, yesterday or the day before, you sent us six additional contracts, apparently found by someone at the Department of National Defence after a manual search and the tabling of a motion.
First of all, these contracts cannot be found on the Open Government website. So, that's the first thing I think is unfortunate.
Second, when we look more closely, we see that these contracts are heavily redacted. When I say “heavily”, it's because in the section where one is supposed to see the name of the resource who did the work, the time they spent on it and at what rate, we only see the final amount.
How is it that the Standing Committee on Public Accounts cannot have access to the identity of people delivering a service with taxpayers' money?
