Mr. Speaker, more than 3,000 contracts have slipped through the cracks.

When was the last time the Minister of Public Works and Government Services ordered an independent audit of untendered contracts? I do not recall.

Is the minister prepared to call for an independent audit of all untendered contracts awarded by his department since January 1, 1997? And if not, why not?
