I guess what I'm asking is more general.
What was shocking to me about that testimony was that it was like officials telling us, “Well, we pick up The Globe and Mail; we read it, and that's our source for information for deciding eligibility for these procurement programs.”
It seems to me that the government should have a way of getting information to verify procurement requirements, rather than hoping that a shady contractor will make the mistake of revealing information to the newspaper. Does this strike you as a flaw in the system?
