Thank you.
I thank you for your question, and also for the opportunity I'm given to answer it.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but on March 20, I announced along with my colleague Mr. Duclos, Minister of Public Services and Procurement, a series of measures to improve oversight of departmental practices and processes and to support efficient management across the whole of government. For instance, we now have horizontal audits in some of the larger departments in order to assess their governance, decision-making and controls related to professional services contracts.
I've also introduced a new edition of our guide for managers who are responsible for contracting with third parties. Lastly, we will be reviewing our conflict of interest policy yet again. So obviously, we will be taking steps. We continue to work on this but as the Auditor General stated, the problems were at the Border Services Agency, who will now have to keep following the rules.
