Yes, I'm not going to be the MP who's going to give you heat because you chose to sole-source. I've had 10 years' experience in the private sector, working with IT firms, and the saying in Ottawa was always, “There's no such thing as a three-month government sale.”
I know that you guys were in a hurry, and we were all getting pressure back home, once the announcement was made, to get this going. However, where I do have some issues, and I think the Auditor General is right, is with billing practices. Are there any plans for EDC to recoup some of those costs that were.... For instance, we're looking at call centres that were billing for hours that were over the actual opening hours of those said call centres. Now that EDC knows the Auditor General has done a report, are you guys looking at this?
Regardless of what the contract said, I'm assuming that EDC would want to recoup some of those costs, if a centre, for whatever reason, overbilled. Are there any plans within EDC to recoup some of those costs?
