Wonderful. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I now want to turn to paragraph 1.56, in which you reported that you “found that GC Strategies was involved in the development of the requirements that the Canada Border Services Agency ultimately included in the request for proposal.” That is a deeply troubling fact, and I think Canadians need to reflect on how private actors are able to directly influence the competitive aspect of a bid they are participating in.
That should have been a massive red flag, from my perspective, because not only was it an abuse of the rules and regulations that exist for competitive bids, but it also masked the true intent of the public service in some ways, which just prior to May 2022 had three non-competitive contracts with GC Strategies. Is that correct?
