Over the past number of weeks, we've been working closely with our colleagues, public servants at Procurement Canada and the National Capital Commission, who have kept us up to date on the situation in Ottawa and how that has been evolving.
As a stakeholder, we have been working with them, and we are grateful for that partnership. We have then been able, in turn, to link up with our stakeholders to ensure that they're aware of what's happening.
As a department, our mandate is to ensure that we continue to commemorate and remember those who have served and have fallen, and to honour their sacrifices and achievements. That is and continues to be a priority of the department as a key element of our mandate.
