Before that witness speaks, could I ask him to frame it in this way?
We know there are preferred vendors. I know that, in my community, it's difficult. People tell me it's difficult to get contracts with the Government of Canada. I also think about discrimination. I think about who has those networks, who's close to parliamentarians and who's close to people working in the public service. Do they get the first point of access?
How can you level the playing field, whether it's for women, people of colour or indigenous suppliers? I'm interested in that.
