I'm happy that your question kept building on that. It allows me to expand on my response that I gave earlier. The Financial Administration Act, which a previous member was referring to when she mentioned sections 32, 33 and 34, is a law. That is something that the government put in place, and then the rules that the public service put in place are how to operationalize it.
The requirement that you must have evidence when you certify is part of the law. It is part of the Financial Administration Act. How that's done is what's in the rules and regulations. That's where I think there's confusion. There are very many rules added on to how to operationalize that, which I think is why we're seeing the behaviour now of the rules not being followed. It's because they may not be known, or they slow down the process and people might try to work around them to expedite a procurement process.
I hope that helps the member, Mr. Chair.
