Mr. Speaker, one thing is clear: we will ensure that our investments uphold the principles we hold dear, namely transparency, value for money and fairness. We expect our partners to ensure that their procurement processes are fair and transparent and provide Canadians with the best value for their tax dollars.
Our programs are subject to regular review, including independent audits by the auditor general.
It is Canadians’ tax dollars that we are investing, and we will invest them responsibility for the benefit of all Canadians.
