I can take this question, Minister.
As normal practice and part of the responsibilities of contracting with the Government of Canada, public servants may meet with the vendors community to discuss ongoing contracts and other subject matter items related to those contracts.
Mr. Girard left the Government of Canada in December 2022. I'm committed to doing more research and getting back to you and the committee members in writing on what we find out about those meetings referenced by Mr. Firth.
